HOW GPT SEES THE WEB

Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

GPT receives only small snippets and windowed slices of pages, so it never sees full webpages or raw HTML. It can request more text through open and click actions, but each retrieval is capped and cannot reconstruct entire articles. Context size settings control how much text each window contains, and even the High setting still enforces strict limits. The sliding window process shows that GPT reads pages in isolated segments and must summarise instead of reproducing long content.
