Instead of directly using chatgpt, it might be better to use AI-assisted search engines[0][1]. While their generated prompt is often misleading, most of the time the associated search result urls from them are spot-on. With You.com - use search tab, with Phind - there should be a panel to the right of prompt.

I haven't found these to be useful yet. GPT-4 is great at anything that it knows from its training set, but it's not so good yet at incorporating knowledge from the web.

I think the problem is that doing a good job of web search requires multiple rounds of clicking results, reading, recognizing low quality results, revising queries, etc. It's just too expensive and slow to do that with GPT-4 right now.

GPT-4 is likely capable of doing better, but it takes roughly as long as a human would take, and nobody wants to stare at a blank screen waiting for results that long, it's boring.
