It's kind of interesting when you look back a year or so to when ChatGPT came out, and the prevailing HN sentiment seemed to be that ChatGPT would be a Google Search killer, even back when it was even more prone to hallucinations and stating wild nonsense as fact.

When ChatGPT first came out, you were getting everyone's first impressions, which LLMs are notoriously good at. And if you ask me, mostly useless once you get past those first impressions.
Guess that was before the doomers had things to point fingers at.
