Yea... when being proactive, in any way that is not adversarial... ChatGTP has shown me that it's capable of providing very specific insights and knowledge when asking about topics Im currently curious about learning. And it works, I learn the type of information I was seeking. When the topics are technical, GPT is very good at crawl, walk, run with things like algorithms. It's great at responding to "well what about...".

Not only do I learn simpler, I gain better communication style myself when figuring out how to communicate with GPT. GPT also has a nice approach for dialog reasoning.

It's filter system may be annoying, however you can easily learn to play GPT's preferred style of knowledge transfer... and it's honestly something we can learn from.

TLDR; IMO ChatGPT expands the concept of learning, and self-tutoring, in an extremely useful way. This is something no search engine of indexed web pages can compete with. Arguably, the utility of index web pages is really degraded for certain types of desired search experiences when compared to ChatGPT... which it seems obv that internet browsing will be eventually incorporated (probably for further reference and narrowed expansion of a topic)
