Well, google has become utterly bad at its job — I fail to find sites I remember verbatim quotes from, so expert google-usage is no longer a possibility. It will gladly leave out any of your important keywords, even if you add quotes around it, absolutely useless. Sure, the average person will search for “how old is X” not “x age”, but for more complex queries the first form is not a good fit.
That said, I can’t really use ChatGPT as a search engine, but I did plug it into a self-hosted telegram bot and I do ask it some basic questions from time to time - telegram is a good UI for it.
- Abroszka 4y agoYeah, I agree. Google did a lot of work to make ChatGPT useful. It's clearly worse than it used to be. I usually need someone to explain something to me. And I used Google before to land on a site where I could find the explanation (e.g. how to use a library). ChatGPT can explain most things I need and I can skip Google and the other sites. But it's indeed not a search engine, if you need factual information then your best bet is to find the documentations, articles, databases, etc.
