OpenAI feeds partner publisher content to ChatGPT as pre-generated summaries with priority over web results
Overview
According to GEO researcher David Konitzny of Peec AI, ChatGPT does not fetch OpenAI's licensing partners' pages live.
Instead, content from 12 publishers across 43 domains, including Condé Nast, Hearst, Axel Springer, News Corp, Reuters and AP, enters through a separate pipeline as pre-generated summaries. Konitzny says these partner entries are placed ahead of all other web results in the prompt, while regular web pages arrive as raw text snippets.
In his analysis of 1,000 cases, partner entries named 70 percent of entries in positions 1 through 3 but only 23 percent in positions 7 through 10, according to the same report.
