- OpenAI unveiled a new search engine called SearchGPT last week.
- Several top publisher sites are already blocking the related OpenAI web crawler, OAI-SearchBot.
- OpenAI says this new bot doesn't collect data for AI model training. Some publishers probably don't believe that.
About a week after OpenAI launched SearchGPT, some of the top news publishers have made clear they want nothing to do with the startup's new search engine.
