> Today I have zero confidence in chatGPT, OR my ability to evaluate and correct it's inaccuracies strictly from within its interface. Definitely not within chatgpt itself. I was using chatgpt recently for the first time and came to the conclusion to take its output with the weight of a trusted friend. I was asking questions on topics I had genuine curiousity about and that I didnt know the answer, and it led me to some information that I thought interesting, so I wanted to know more. Thats where I turned to my fav search engine and looked into, continuing my session with chatgpt to clear passages it spat. It steered me in a direction I didnt know existed, and I used the internet to verify the information and acquire me detail. Yesterday I tried out asking it for help on a coding project, and it introduced me to a helpful package I didnt know about, but the code it suggested using didnt actually work and was riddled with errors as I tried to use it in the way it suggested. I would have been blown away if it worked, so this was no big deal. I think I would have been faster just using stackexchange though. > So today I don't see it replacing search engine for me. I will continue to use the resources I already use to find respective authenticatable information, but I do think it is still useful for those things where I have no idea where to begin, so it can set me in a direction where resources already exist.
