A grown man I work with, he's in his 50s, tells me he asks ChatGPT stuff all the time, and I can't for the life of me figure out why. It is a copycat designed to beat the Turing test. It is not a search engine or Wikipedia, it just gambles it can pass the Turing test after every prompt you give it.

People want functioning web searching back, but rather than address issues in the industry breaking an otherwise functional concept, they want a new fancy technology to make the problem go away.

It works well if you know what to use it for. Ever had something you wanted to Google, but couldn't figure out the keywords? Ever saw someone use a specific technique of something, which you could describe, but wouldn't be able to find unless someone on a forum asked the same question? That's were chatgpt shines.

Also for code it's pretty sweet

But yeah, it's not a wiki or hard knowledge retriever, but it might help connect the dots
