Now that you've all tried it ... ChatGPT web traffic falls 10%

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Yeah if it's that hard to find gpt is just going to hallucinate some bs into the response. I use it as a stack overflow at times and often run into garbage when I'm trying to solve a truly novel problem. I'll often try to simplify it to something contrived but mostly find the output useful as a sort of spark. I can't say I ever find the raw code it generates useful or all that good.
It'll often give wrong answers but some of those can contain useful bits that you can arrange into a solution. It's cool, but I still think people are oddly enamored with what is really just a talking Google. I don't think it's the game changer people are thinking it is.
It's pretty useful if you're in a more generalist job. I mostly work in visual design, but I sometimes deal with coding and web dev. As someone with a mostly surface understanding of these things, asking gpt to explain exact things that don't make sense in basic terms or solve basic issues is a huge time saver for me. Googling these issues usually works but takes way longer than getting a tailored response from gpt if you know how to ask.
