This will probably get a lot of hate, but for most of my questions where I'm looking for a simple answer on something, I just use ChatGPT. Gives me the answer much more hassle-free than a search engine would.
I’m the same except replace ChatGPT with Perplexity.ai which has 3 improvements:
1. Includes recent web search in context
2. Includes footnotes with sources
3. Has a much better voice recognition that improves accuracy from context of your question
Bonus: Perplexity.ai is smarter than raw chatGPT IMO, even though it sometimes uses chatGPT for input.
Example: Ask both LLMs - How many Rs in “strawberry” ChatGPT says 2 (wrong), Perplexity and Gemini say 3 (right)
