Arguably, but imho the difference between search engines and GPTs is akin to punch card coding vs modern IDE - theoretically the same activity, vastly different in practice.
- realharo 2y agoFor generating output, sure, but when it comes to "helping individuals grok any conceivable topic" like the original comment said, you're still bottlenecked by how fast you can read and understand text, so it won't make as much difference there. Plus, from my experience, the more obscure topics, which are not easy to google, also tend to suffer the most from hallucinations when using LLMs. The topics which ChatGPT can explain perfectly usually have well-written explanations at the top of search results too.
