I just use it as a super search engine and validate the results myself. Sometimes I only know 1/2 the words I need to find something so I just ask GPT-4 to give me 10 things it could possibly be then I look them up, rather than waste time with pedantry on web forums trying to find the words that way.

I fail to understand why people get so up in arms about how some people find use in these tools. Does not work for your niche? Cool, then just don't use it.

That's how I use it too. You try to search some topics on search engines nowadays, you get a lot of blog drivel with the same cliches all over and very little on the way of factual explanations. You ask ChatGPT and it gives you one to four paragraphs straight to the point. You can query it further and validate what it says with literature or more focused searches.

It feels like I'm getting massively subsidized by the AI hype tho. Even if I were to pay 20 dollars a month for that, it wouldn't come close to covering how much it cost to train and host it.
