    You have to have some idea as to what the answer might already be

    it doesnt provide sources etc. which is a bit annoying.

    the chatgpt “bot” in the edge browser is actually decent at providing sources, but its terrible at finding specific info. i tried finding information about what TIME a certain game would be available to play, and it just kept giving me its release date. (which i also gave it, in my query)

    but they’re still very new.

    google, and such, have had over 2 decades to refine their search etc

    i use chatgpt quite often to explain a large blob of text, in a simple manner, or give me code snippets for generic stuff im too lazy to write. test-data as well.

      For simple coding it is a dream. Or like, shitty DNS errors that need to be sorted out because apparently you can’t have 2 SPF records lol. I copy and pasted all of the records over and said WHAT IS WRONG lol, and it figured it out for me.

      I get that some people don’t like it, but… its not going anywhere.

        I second that, it’s been very useful for coding/debugging for me too. And the cool part is that it’s only going to get better.
