I just prefer it to search engines these days. Chatgpt will give you good basic answers with direct links to citations.
Most search engines just produce endless commercial spam. I can instruct chatgpt to basically be Google scholar on steroids and get highly relevant academic results, which I then go read. “Based on highly regarded scientific literature like nature, please find me links regarding …” Works great! In you need, “no summaries, no conjecture. I don’t want your thoughts about this. I just want highly cited links/literature. Please act like a good search engine chat GPT.” And it generally does pretty great, minimizing me having to wade through shit-tons of SEO garbage.
I’m not having much discussion with it, except for fun/novelty.

It’d be great if it didn’t though.

Hey man I would totally agree with you, if it was 20-30 years ago and search engines actually gave relevant results instead of commercial SEO garbage. Which in my opinion is a hell of a lot worse than the worst AI slop…
