I'm also using chatgpt with its search enabled or perplexity for searching almost anything. Way more accurate and to the point.

I feel like the google search will become obsolete in a short time and they have to make big changes to their UX and search engine.

Although I guess most of its user base are still relying on the old ways so changing it right now has huge impacts on older users.



Interested in what your benchmark for accuracy is. I feel like for my searches that I am normally looking at a few different sources and cross referencing them to come to a conclusion about what is best for me. Do you find that AI is good at automatically figuring out what is best for you?

For instance I wanted help cooking Coq au vin yesterday. I’ve cooked it before but I couldn’t remember what temperature to set the oven to. I read about five recipes (which were all wildly different) and choose the one that best suited the ingredients and quantities I was already using.

I asked chat gpt for a coq au vin recipe, and I’ll just say I won’t be opening a restaurant using ChatGPT as my sous chef anytime soon.


Honestly, I haven't really thought about how much better my searches have gotten but one thing for sure is that now it's way faster.

I can only really validate the generated response when it's code. Usually on other stuff, I trust and read the response which is not good I guess.

Hope you were satisfied with the food at the end :)
