Interesting. I am still defaulting to ChatGPT when I anticipate having a multi-turn conversation.

But for questions where I expect a single response to do, Google has taken over.

Here's an example from this morning:

It's my first autumn in a new house, and my boiler (forced hot water heating) kicked on for the first time. The kickboards in the kitchen have Quiet-One Kickspace brand radiators with electric fans. I wanted to know what controls these fans (are they wired to the thermostat, detect radiator temp, etc?)

I searched "When does a quiet-one kickspace heater turn on". Google Overview answered correctly [1] in <1 second. Tried the same prompt to ChatGPT. Took 17 seconds to get the full (also correct, and similarly detailed) answer.

Both answers were equally detailed and of similar length.

[1] Confirmed correct by observing the operation of the unit.
