Okay, but Google points you to some site that says something. You can evaluate what that site says, based on its content and other signals about its reputation, and ponder the information with other information from other sources. That's what searching is supposed to involve.
ChatGPT provides answers in its own name, with confidence and often arrogance, and the air of authority that comes from a well articulated discourse, even if the underlying reasoning is completely absurd, stupid and dangerous.
Big difference.
- BoorishBears 4y agoIt's a completely arbitrary difference you've imposed that someone would blindly follow ChatGPT, but not Google. The Google result is a site written "with confidence and often arrogance, and the air of authority that comes from a well articulated discourse". The article about making your own baby formula by buying goat lactose is incredibly stupid, nonsensically so. In fact you don't even have to visit the site, Google attempts to answer using the content from the site specifically so that it inherits their credibility (Google wants to be seen as answering your query, not the site) At the end of the day "You can evaluate what that site says, based on its content and other signals about its reputation, and ponder the information with other information from other sources" applies to ChatGPT and Google equally.
