ChatGPT can give you websites, too, if you ask:
"What's a good social website for people of a technical bent"
It recommended: Reddit, Hacker News, Stack Exchange, Quora, LinkedIn, ResearchGate, GitHub
That's a pretty good list!
Tried the same search on Google, and the first result was some spammy site "15 top social networks," #1 being facebook. Not very useful.
I definitely think chatbots will replace many uses of search engines. It's already way more useful for lots of stuff for me.

- bg24 4y agoWhen the incentives are 70% of your revenue, very difficult to change track in 1-2 years.
- gukov 4y agoAnother way to look at ChatGPT is it being a smart RSS reader. It's the way it discards all the WordPress layout junk giving you just the meat in a text format. The biggest advantage Google currently has is their massive indexing ability. ChatGPT is oblivious to something that just happened (ie was posted) an hour ago, a day ago, heck, a month ago.
