If I'm looking at MDN for JS docs, I don't need to cross-reference anything. Yet I can't be sure it used the same MDN in my answer as opposed to some random SO post.

I could specify for it to use MDN exclusively but at that point I might as well use search.

In addition to that I could judge the quality of search results (a lot vs little mentions of a technology, shady vs reputable site etc.) to make educated guess of the output I'm getting from search. Can't do that with GPT.

These are key differences off the top of my head.
