It was a predictable move in search engines' continuous goal to control access to information and prevent eyeballs leaving the site (except via paid links) to find the information on their own, e.g. this thread going all the way back to the more tribal Web 1.0 links exchanges based on shared interests rather than data-mining users: https://mastodon.social/@ifixcoinops/108164769201676440 https://mastodon.social/@ifixcoinops/108164769201676440
- Gigachad 4y agoI’ve experienced multiple occasions where I have a problem I don’t know how to search on google. I can explain it in a conversational way but I don’t have the special name that describes the class of problem. ChatGPT is revolutionary in that it takes conversational queries. It’s simply a better UI for users.

Compare that to feeding machine B the prompt "I would like to know what kinds of windows I can buy for my house. The dimensions are 48x24". We can't really conclude that machine B is better, simply because the two machines aren't taking the same test.
