    Most search engines are practically unusable due to the massive amount of garbage AI generated sites that take up the search results while having just platantly false information.

      I haven’t used a search engine since I started using ChatGPT. It does all the heavy lifting for me.

        The problem with using it as a search engine is that if it doesn’t know the answer it commonly makes things up. I tried using it for work but it got details wrong enough to make it useless.

          You can’t trust search engine results either. It’s just another tool that you use to arrive at a conclusion. You still have to do work.

            You could in the past. About 6 years ago or so the top 3 results were almost always correct.

            Currently you can’t because of the AI generated content that gets things wrong the same way as using an AI as a search engine.

        I am concerned to think of all the terrible and just plain wrong information you have been given.
