I hear the youths are using ChatGPT like we used Google when we were their age, but they must be way better than I am, because when I ask it things I don't already know, sometimes it gives me truth and sometimes lies.

It's better than google for a lot of searches. That is until whatever AI platform you are using enshitifies.
who in the fuck do you think you’re fooling. all of us have used LLMs for search, not by choice. it’s a garbage technology for that use case (and every other use case) and it didn’t take enshittification for it to get there — it is the enshittification.
