Why does ChatGPT search the web for unrelated questions?
I’m using Safari on macOS. It started today, even in new chats. I’ve disabled extensions and cleared site data. Is this a setting or a known issue?

The 30-second question shaper
Give people what they need to help.
Start messy. Add the details that usually get lost. Leave with a question ready to post anywhere.
The product hypothesis
Better context creates a shorter path to the first useful reply.
If people who are about to post a vague help request get a lightweight context checklist, then more of their first replies will contain actionable answers instead of clarification questions.
Success signal
Useful answer in fewer replies
Compare the number of clarification replies and time-to-first-useful-answer between original and ClearAsk-shaped posts.
Less back-and-forth. More signal.
Dump the thought
Start with the rough question you were already going to post.
Add missing context
Four tiny prompts surface the details an answerer needs.
Post the clear version
Copy one compact, useful ask into X, Reddit, Slack, or a group chat.
Someone out there knows.
