Go out to google and ask it how long does a ship require to travel from Miami to Jamaica. It will give you 20 webpages with ads for cruise vacations and airfare to Miami.
Ask ChatGPT how long it takes for a ship to travel from Miami to Jamaica and it will quote typical velocities and time enroute. It doesn’t need 20 webpages filled with ads to answer your friggin question.
That’s the reason for the terror campaign. ChatGPT can destroy the search industry. I am amused when Google is asked . . . “why don’t you just make a better one?” That’s not the point. They don’t want a better one. They want to sell advertising, not help users.
Right now ChatGPT is privately funded research into AI, and you get to see a sliver of it via the chatbot.
When it has to start paying its own way, you'll see ads or pay a monthly subscription for it as well.

Exactly.
It’s interesting isn’t it?
I use ChatGPT daily. I use it as a tool that does the searching for me, pull things together, and then explain it. If I want to know more about an aspect, as it keeps context, I just ask something more specifically, or just say “elaborate on X” from its last response.
For technical topics it’s great.
