If you haven't used ChatGPT yet....I suggest you do... It's a game changer for sure.

Google literally does the exact same thing in terms of ripping content.

It is usually great, but the risky thing with ChatGPT is that it (sometimes) confidently spits out the wrong answers. Google does too, but with the ChatGPT you inherently can’t verify what it’s telling you for yourself, because the links to its sources aren’t anywhere to be found

it's really good at "what's that word that starts with a p and means..." sort of questions. Imagine a search engine that doesn't just search the web for keywords but can interpret what you're looking for and find that

Other than what was mentioned, it is not the literal same as Google.

In addition they allow API access which exposes additional layers of parameters to use. This costs money but it's certainly great for people with use cases.

Its more or less google for dummies. Just ask a question. If the answer is too vague, ask another question. And go on.

Yeah I was so impressed.

5 years ago we had a project at our university and we had to use a very unpopular and old programming language. We spent hours and hours on very little problems like "how to fill an dynamic array".

With ChatGPT I had my answers for most of these questions in a few minutes, WITH code examples. A few minutes for what 20 students needed multiple days for, with google.

I copied/pasted my code in it with an explanation of what I was trying to accomplish and it gave me the solution with a breakdown and explanation... I was blown away
