Shat advice
One of the issues that I found most peturbing from the Atlas browser FAQ’s for front end developers was the advice to use ARIA:
ChatGPT Atlas uses ARIA tags[sic]—the same labels and roles that support screen readers—to interpret page structure and interactive elements. To improve compatibility, follow WAI-ARIA best practices by adding descriptive roles, labels, and states to interactive elements like buttons, menus, and forms. This helps ChatGPT recognize what each element does and interact with your site more accurately.
From this one could assume that ChatGPT does not recognise native HTML semantics…
I investigated this a bit and found no guidance on how to use HTML in general to support ChatGPT/OpenAI Atlas browser in understanding content semantics…
So I turned to ChatGPT and asked a question:
Question: what is the HTML coding advice for developers who want to ensure that it works with the openai Atlas browser?
Its response:
HTML coding advice for OpenAI Atlas

Maybe the FAQ documenters should have asked their own product as it provides a lot better advice (via knowledge harvesting the work of others) than “Use ARIA tags[sic]”

Joker and the Thief
lyrics
I said the joker is a wanted man He makes his way all across the land See him sifting through the sand So I'll tell you all the story About the joker and the thief in the night He's always laughing in the midst of power Always living in the final hour There is always sweet and sour So we are not going home Can you see the joker flying over As she's standing in the field of clover? Watching out everyday I wonder what would happen if he took her away What you see, well, you might not know You get the feelin', comin' after the glow The vagabond is moving slow So I'll tell you all the story About the joker and the thief in the night All the people that you see in the night Hold their dreams up to the light The wild beast is searching for sight And we are not going home Can you see the joker flying over As she's standing in the field of clover? Watching out everyday I wonder what would happen if he took her away I said the joker is a wanted man He makes his way all across the land See him sifting through the sand So I'll tell you all the story About the joker and the thief I said I'll tell you all the story About the the joker and the thief I said, I'll tell you the story About the joker and the thief in the night
