TLDR

OpenAI is moving the Sources button from ChatGPT responses into a harder-to-find menu, reducing user visibility of source attribution.

Optimixed Overview

Optimixed's original report on this story.

OpenAI is testing or rolling out a change to ChatGPT's interface that relocates the Sources button from a prominent position in the response footer to a buried spot inside the three-dot "More actions" menu, as SEOFOMO News reports. The shift makes accessing source citations considerably less convenient, potentially discouraging users from clicking through to view original content.
