IMO right now it's absurdly awful at searching the web. Which sort of makes sense because that's a truly difficult, nuanced thing to do. I often have much better responses re-running the same prompt on the non-web enabled GPT-4.

The only use I've found for that so far is giving it a specific URL to use so I don't have to copy/paste some piece of documentation/etc.

phind.com is GPT 3.5 and 4.0 (selectable) with web browsing, and is 100x better than what ChatGPT is doing.

It's still bad for my use case though. My use case being: (1) figuring out rails magic, and (2) coming up with ways to twist the Rust borrow checker into submission.

Doesn't Phind already do this well? FWIW I keep "best model" (that should be GPT-4) off because I just find it too slow and it doesn't seem like that much of an improvement.
