For questions such as the difference between typhoon and hurricane, ChatGPT and Claude give accurate answers in just a couple of seconds. It’s such a different experience compared to the search engines.

But how do you know if they’re accurate?
You don't. Just like before generative AI responses. If accuracy is required, you have to check the citations and make a judgement call. And no, people generally won't do that just like they didn't do that before.
Yeah, search engines give accurate answers for that question with no noticeable latency, providing a much better experience.

That was the difference you meant to highlight, right?

Worst part for flow is how fast chatgpt logins expire. Ironically probably some kind of anti-botting measure or is there a better explanation?
