I've personally replaced Google with Bing Chat for technical things (like searching for specific API). Does it make things up? Maybe. But in my experience it never happes even once in past whole week (>100 times of searchs).
It's not "it happened but you just didn't notice..." if it uses a function call wrong I'd have noticed. My code won't compile. My test won't pass.
So far it either gives me 100% correct result, or completely fails. But it doesn't generate "seemingly correct but actually wrong" things even once, unlike ChatGPT.
I find this the killer application for ChatGPT (at least for now). Answers you can very quickly verify and care little about the sources because a significant no. of answers on Stack Overflow make ChatGPT look modest in confidence comparison
