I agree with this. Ask specific tech questions (e.g. what is the vacuum (in Torr) inside a vacuum tube?) and ChatGPT give a direct answer. Ask Google? Go ahead, grovel thought the ads, irrelevant results, and maybe you'll find something relevant.

Happy Hunting...

It depends on the question. Try asking it how fast you would need to travel to get from Los Angeles to New York in 1 hour. It consistently tells me that this is impossible, even if I was traveling at the speed of light.

Nope. It is StackOverflow that is irrelevant. Not Google. Especially when most of all AI including ChatGPT still cannot transparently explain their own decisions.

If I were Google this is what I would actually be worried about. I ask ChatGPT a typical question and I get a clear short answer.

I ask Google the same thing have to wade through a 1000 line blog post talking about 25 other things to finally find the one piece of information I need.

It's extremely naive to believe Google doesn't have chatgpt capability but simply do not find it currently economical to augment or replace search with it (these answers are expensive to generate). Give it time for efficiency to scale.

Yes, because ChatGPT is not bombed with SEO currently.
