Are you using Google less lately because of ChatGPT?

My search behaviour hasn't changed. I find chatGTP's answers to be too verbose, imprecise and the lack of visuals and links in its answers reduces utility for the domains I'm interested in (I think SEO works well in those domains). I often depend on substantiating my work with sources, so I need links to blogs, articles and research papers.

Slightly. They're different kinds of searches.

ChatGPT is better at telling me what a block of code does or what my medical report says. Google for answering quick questions that don't need a full sentence.

For all the criticism ChatGPT gets, Google is also highly inaccurate.

I've wired GPT-3 to my command prompt, and I tend to use that for quick queries, like keyboard shortcuts and the command prompt to delete a file. It shouldn't replace document lookup tools like Dash though.

It's a different sort of thing I'm after when I'm querying ChatGPT. I use ChatGPT if I have writers block and need it to draft a certain kind of email for me, but I can't believe a single thing it says so its usefulness is quite limited. Beyond that, it's a very good toy for me right now, but I'm sure it'll only improve from here.

Absolutely not. I haven't even used ChatGPT. I'm not against it, I just like to run things locally. I have gpt-2 and gpt-j and tons of different stable diffusion models local and I get way more enjoyment from diffusion rather than some large text prediction model.

All these models know are what they are trained on. That's it. What they are trained on along with whatever limited window of memory that they have for an open-ended chat type query.

I don't consider any large language model a replacement for research and searching. Although I do get a kick out of it for generating ridiculous nonsense and that brings me great joy because I get to laugh at it. Making nonsense top 10 lists or nonsense drink recipes. Those are hilarious times. Deliberately tuning the model so it's running a fever is just wonderful.

I'm using Google less lately because of DuckDuckGo.

i certainly am
