In a blog post, OpenAI highlighted that the web pages collected by GPTBot are filtered to eliminate sources requiring paywall access, those collecting personally identifiable information (PII) or containing content that violates OpenAI’s policies. This approach is aimed at addressing privacy concerns that often arise when AI systems interact with sensitive data.
