ChatGPT is basically the deshittifier that rewrites thousands of sites to just the information…?

And it has a much better interface than original Google. Every query starts with the equivalent of “I’m feeling lucky”, but then you can ask further questions.

Nah this tech will poison the web. People don't know what it is and take it too seriously.
