When it works it is great. I've been using it instead of Google a lot too, but when it makes mistakes it requires someone familiar with a subject to detect it.

When it works it is great. I've been using it instead of Google a lot too, but when it makes mistakes it requires someone familiar with a subject to detect it. I'm not sure if it is ready to be used as as a search engine by everyone.
For example recently I asked it for the best way to search in an mbox file on arch Linux. It proceeded to recommend a number of tools including mboxgrep. When I asked how to install it on arch it gave me a standard response using the package manager, but mboxgrep is not an arch package. It isn't even an aur package. It requires fetching the source and building it by yourself(if I remember correctly one has to use an older version of gcc too). None if it was mentioned by chatgpt.
This is not the first time BTW, there was another software it recommended that Debian doesn't know about, when I asked it another time.
