I kind of already use ChatGPT to surface things because Google's become absolutely useless if you don't know the exact thing you're already looking for.

But Bing has generally been garbage because it just picks a random keyword and reads the first ten links and summarizes them instead of what I'd generally want it to do, hallucinate an answer and verify it against a search result.

Hopefully OpenAI gets something more useful.

Let me add that more often than not, it's also absolutely useless when you DO know the exact thing you're looking for, shoveling literally any content at you at all cost.

I think Google no longer works even in searches you know the exact thing you're looking for. For example, searches for exact string marches no longer work at all.
