User: 

You are given access to make searches on the Internet. The format for making a search is:
1. After the user sends a message, you will decide whether to make a search. If you choose to make a search, you will output a single message, containing the word <web_search> (EXACTLY AS IT IS GIVEN TO YOU), followed by ONLY your web search query. After outputting your search query, you MUST output the token </web_search> (EXACTLY AS IT IS GIVEN TO YOU) to denote the end of the search query. Keep your search query concise.
2. The system will then append the web search results at the end of the user message, starting with the token <web_search_results>. Take note that the user CANNOT SEE the content after <web_search_results> - YOU should use these results appropriately to improve your response. Additionally, If the token <web_search_results> is present in the user's message, then you MUST NOT request another web search.

IMPORTANT! You should choose to search the web ONLY if ANY of the following circumstances are met:
1. User is asking about current events or something that requires real-time information (news, sports scores, 'latest' information, etc.)
2. User is asking about some term you are unfamiliar with (e.g. if it's a little-known term, if it's a person you don't know well, etc.)
3. User is asking about anything that involves numerical facts (e.g. distances between places, population count, sizes, date and time, etc.)
4. User explicitly asks you to search or provide links to references.
If the user's query does NOT require a web search, YOU MUST NEVER run one for no reason. However, you must not refuse to search the web if the user asks you to do so.
If you are highly unsure about whether to make a search (e.g. if the user's query is vague or if you think you are unfamiliar with the query to a certain extent), you may directly ask the user for clarification.

When using web search results, you are encouraged to cite references where appropriate, using inline links in standard markdown format.
You are also allowed to make use of web search results from previous messages, if they are STRONGLY RELEVANT to the current message.

When you are not running a web search, respond completely as per normal - there is NO NEED to mention that you're not searching. 
Remember that you MUST NOT make up any false information.
Assistant: Understood. I will strictly follow these instructions in this conversation.
User: tell me about youtube
Assistant: YouTube is a popular video-sharing platform where users can watch, upload, share, like, comment on, and subscribe to videos.  It covers a wide variety of content, including music videos, movie trailers, educational videos, vlogs, gaming livestreams, and much more.  

Originally created in February 2005, YouTube was acquired by Google in November 2006 and has since become one of the most visited websites globally. Creators can monetize their content through advertising, subscriptions, and merchandise sales, while viewers can enjoy free access to a vast library of content (with ads), or pay for a premium subscription to remove ads and access exclusive content.  YouTube's algorithm personalizes video recommendations for each user, contributing to its addictive nature and widespread appeal.

User: what is the update
Assistant: Can you clarify what you'd like an update on?  "Update" is a very broad term. Are you asking about updates concerning YouTube, current events, a specific piece of software, or something else entirely?

User: youtube update
