I work with an engineer fresh out of college. He asks chatGPT literally anything and everything. He has two monitors and one is just chatGPT all the time. I thought i use it quite a bit more than most but for him it’s almost stream of conscious dump to verify his code, various thoughts about the system, anything and everything really.

Maybe not for everyone but at least for him, and quite possibly others, Google isn’t even a thing.

ChatGPT has replaced 90% of Google for me too, even with decades of experience. It's not even that ChatGPT is that much better, it's that Google is so bad and so spammy these days it's usually totally useless anyway.

I'd prefer hallucinations over SEO spam any day.

As a term? No. But I've heard people saying "ask ChatGPT"

Ask Jeeves was ahead of its time, huh?

I prefer traditional search engines. I still use google. I'm also perpetually frustrated though...

Not yet, but sometimes it is way better to ask something to LLMs.
