> It has the same advantages search has over ChatGPT (being able to cite sources, being quite unlikely to hallucinate) and it has some of the advantages ChatGPT has over search (not needing exact query) - but in my experience it's not really in the new category of information discovery that ChatGPT introduced us to.
I think the two could be paired up effectively. Context windows are getting bigger, but are still limited in the amount of information ChatGPT can sift through. This in turn limits the utility of current plugin based approaches.
Letting ChatGPT ask for relevant information, and sift through it based on its internal knowledge, seems valuable. If nothing else, it allows "learning" from recent development and effectively would augment its reasoning capability by having more information in working memory.
