There’s a middle ground for questions that don’t yield a good answer from a quick google search. Plenty of times I’ve used it AFTER looking for 5min on google and it gave me basically exactly what I needed. Its use case is for people with a 7/10 general knowledge base asking a question in a specific area where they have 3/10 knowledge. ChatGPT isn’t for the 9/10 expert, it’s to get you 50% of the way into a problem instantly, and sometimes you even get 80-90% of the way there
I would argue that you still need to do research and you can't rely on the answers provided by it.
For instance, the thing I'm knowledgeable on is cannabis. So I asked it questions. It gave me the same grow time for auto-flower and photosensitive plants, and for outdoor and indoor. It told me an outdoor, non autoflower plant only takes 8 weeks from seed to harvest...
Now if I didn't know any better, I would think it was the correct answer because of how well it presented the answer, but because I do know better, I was able to see how terrible it's answers were.
It has a lot of promise, like its ability to remember the conversation and context. But it has a long way to go when it comes to accuracy of information.
If this not bot could interact directly with live datasets it would be fucking amazing. But using only training data that ends in 2021 causes some issues for sure.
