> Instead of Googling

I feel like Google result quality has declined though, so chatGPT is just bridging the gap; not sure if I'm more productive than I was when Google worked better. ChatGPT often gives me concrete things to google which give me the results I want in the end, and save me a bit of time, but that's only because Googling the thing in the abstract doesn't give me those results any more.

...and I'm not enough of a maniac to trust what ChatGPT tells me without reference checking.
