ChatGPT often gets to the point within one query, whereas a Google search often requires visiting multiple sites to read material where you might find the answer to your question. Very often these articles spend >50% of the text with "filler" or introductory material you have to wade through while you hope to find an answer. In this sense, for the right type of search, ChatGPT is a serious time saver.

The next level of efficiency surfaces when you found an answer, complete or not, and have follow-up questions. A Google search quickly grows into a large tree of sites you have to visit and summarize before you feel like you have an answer.

There is no question in my mind that this is the future of search.
