I dunno, I'm not exactly on the AI bandwagon, but search is the one place where I use (and see others using) chatgpt all the time. The fact that Google search has been getting worse for a decade probably helps, but better search -- consistently done, without ads or cruft -- would be worth a few bucks every month for me.

I agree that you can't TRUST them, but half the links regular search turns up are also garbage, so that's not really worse, per se.
