Using links and titles in prompts

It’s openly acknowledged that the entirety of the open internet has already been scraped by AI platforms for use as training data - see the GenAI Basics section above for more on this.

As a result, using a link to openly-accessible material online, or quoting the title for a well-known policy/strategy/theory/etc., may be a better option than uploading a file.

For example, to create a summary of the Australian Government's ‘Closing the Gap’ strategy, it’s possible to simply include the strategy title in a prompt, rather than needing to upload a file.

When adding links to prompts users should still be careful around the terms of service/use for websites, in case use of the site's content  is not permitted with genAI. Consideration should also be made that any online material being added to prompts is not infringing in nature to begin with.
