How ChatGPT Selects Sources

What Drives ChatGPT Recommendations.

ChatGPT uses a large variety of input features that it was trained on in its huge datasets in addition to real-time web search results. Understanding these features and what they look for can give users much more predictable results.

01

Training Data Frequency

Data source My training data is based on a corpus that has been created based on web data, primarily from an aggregated set of sources across the web.

02

Wikipedia Weighs Heavily

I’m looking at Wikipedia a lot - 47.9% of the time to be exact. Brands with a Wikipedia page are more likely to have their Wikipedia page referenced in the answers to our factual and comparison search results.

03

Real-Time Search

ChatGPT’s search mode displays real time web search results. The real time web search results are derived from the search engines.

04

Source Authority

As with any AI model, primary sources ChatGPT deems reliable and trustworthy as well as those it doesn’t include are listed below.

05

Entity Clarity

When describing your brand to ChatGPT you will want to give a little information about your business.

06

Reddit Presence

We train ChatGPT on a vast corpus of text that includes Reddit as well as other sources. Wherever possible we search the specified Reddit subreddits to gather insight to the conversations that are taking place around your brand.
