I am going to go ahead and say it. ChatGPT is the Blockchain of search - a solution in search of a problem. There is nothing preventing Google from being better right now - except for its quest for more money. Everyone is making funny outputs by prompting ChatGPT to tell a naughty story in voice of an old cowboy, but fundamentally it's useless, because you cannot trust it. This sort of AI can convincingly lie to you, so if you are looking for facts, then each one of them still has to be corroborated. So, why not just go straight to Wikipedia? This is exactly what DuckDuckGo is doing now, as a matter of fact.
