Honestly though, with a bit of verification, chatgpt 4 gives waaaaaay better answers than any search engine. Like, it's how it was back when you'd just ask Google a plain-english question and it'd give you SOMETHING at least.

Again, verify everything it tells you, it's still prone to hallucinations, but it's a damn good first step.

Sure. But take it for what it is. It is a language model designed to imitate humans writing. What the future holds, I can't say

Right, which is why I suggested to verify whatever it spits out, I'm just saying it's not entirely outlandish to ask it quick questions as opposed to your search engine of choice.

Like if I ask it for the lyrics of a song it'll give me the lyrics?

Well, I tried to test it and it started OK, but then gave me a content violation as it was generating, so that may be one of the ones that don't work as well.
