I don't see how they said that Googling skips critical thinking. The issue is that for a lot of queries, Google returns a bunch of content mill pieces that have similar quality to ChatGPT. ChatGPT tends to be more focused on what you asked for, while the content mill pieces are deliberately written to keep you reading as long as possible without answering the question.

>ChatGPT tends to be more focused on what you asked for …even if it has to invent people, places, things or events to satisfy your focus. Do you have a particular example where ChatGPT does better than googling something? I’m especially interested in your example since we agree that googling entails using humans cognitive ability to make sense of things.

    Can you elaborate on how the ChatGPT software does better than looking stuff up? I do not argue that you don’t seem to get any value out of using ChatGPT, I’m curious about the big difference in quality between the knowledge you get from the ChatGPT page vs what knowledge you can get by googling something.
