Because I'm a CS teacher people show me tech stuff all the time. Every day someone shows me some search they ran on chatGPT that found the thing they were looking for when Google didn't. Over and over. These are people who mostly don't like AI.

What has happened is very simple: Most search engines, especially Google return slop in their top results. A chatGPT search will not return slop (at this time) And I don't like this because after it gives them the link to the webpage they wanted it keeps talking to them. Giving compliments, asking if it can help in other ways. And bragging about itself. The goal is to get the person to use the chatbot enough that they are willing to pay for it when they cut it off after a few weeks.
