I'll be all over the place with this so bear with me.
GPT4 is more impressive. But Google...felt better.
Using Google for the first time felt like you were a wizard casting a spell at the library of the world, and then a stack of books showed up in front of you.
GPT4 is so uncanny and difficult to trust it almost feels evil, in comparison. It feels more like early file-sharing services that you knew were going to nuke your computer, eventually.
In those early days of Google, you knew the information you were finding was almost always generated from a passion project being curated by one or more actual human beings without ulterior motives.
GPT4 feels like a solar-powered iPad on the tombstone of the Dead Internet. We've unleashed a probabilistic zombie information demon, and we can't put this back in the ground.
Google was the good friend who always introduced you to people you needed to know, and it's a tragedy that it will never be the same.
