I switched to other non-google search engines (Brave Search/DuckDuckGo) before chatGPT.
I use ChatGPT for ideas and suggestions, or when I get stuck on something.
I treat it like a very knowledgeable person who usually gets their sources mixed up.
ChatGPT points me in the right direction and that’s enough to dig deeper into whatever it is I’m trying to do.
It’s excellent for pseudo-code, but in my experience it isn’t reliable with actual code.
Yeah, another use that I know I’ll be using it for (or at least Bing’s Chat) will be summarizing large documents (especially in the sense of becoming a more informed voter).
I don’t have time to read through the thousands of pages of legalese that our lawmakers come up with. But instead of having to wait or only rely on summaries from others I can run it through an AI to give summaries of each section and then read into anything that piques my interest.
It might be interesting to even train a smaller LLM that does this more efficiently.
The next step would be a LLM that pays more attention to unintended consequences of laws due to the way they’re written. But for something really effective I imagine that would require the assistance of a large number of experts in the field… And/Or a lot of research on laws being overturned, loopholes fixed, etc.
Even then it’s important that we understand that these tools are far from perfect. And we should question results rather than accepting them at face value.

Yes! It’s who you ask when you aren’t sure what the idea, concept, or term is. Once you are armed with that information, use a proper search engine.
