I asked it: "What is ChatGPT’s actual competitive advantage over search? ChatGPT is a variant of the GPT (Generative Pre-training Transformer) language model that has been specifically designed to generate human-like text in a chatbot-like fashion. One of the main advantages of ChatGPT is its ability to generate natural and coherent responses to user inputs in real-time. This makes it well-suited for use in chatbots and other interactive applications where users expect a quick and personalized response. In contrast, search engines like Google rely on pre-existing content and do not generate responses in real-time. While search engines can be very useful for finding information that already exists on the internet, they are not designed to generate original responses to user queries. Overall, ChatGPT's main advantage is its ability to generate human-like text in real-time, which makes it well-suited for use in interactive applications such as chatbots." There are many Google searches that are low effort queries for advice. ChatGPT can provide realistic answers to those in a way Google never could. I've received compelling advice on how to have a telephone conversation with an awkward relative and how to handle a complaint in customer service. Each response seems genuine and well thought out. In contrast Google might spit out a few lines extracted from a possibly relevant website but then I'd have to trawl through a million ads and back story to know if it actually was relevant. Even if the chat bot returned an irrelevant response I could clarify my question and it would remember the context.
