    I use it instead of Google when I want to understand something new. When I’m coming to a search with little to no context, GPT saves me 3:1 searches while i narrow down what I need. Then when I have what I need, I can start asking it questions about it instead of trying to find articles that might have that answer in them.

    If I want to find what oil filter my car uses, google. If I want to understand the differences between the oil types/grade, GPT.

      Oh yeah. I’m trying to mix some songs for a home video I’m making and asked a few AIs about whether I should change a song from A min to mix better with a song in F#m and I received suggestions in 10 seconds, whilst if I duckduckgo’d that it would take 30 min of digging through search results and then reading pages of music theory and then you still wouldn’t know if your conclusion was correct.

      BTW I recommend using this github program to use multiple AIs simultaneously: https://lemmy.world/post/74749

      Often, chatgpt does not give the best results - I find Claude and bing can beat it.

        As much as I hate Bing, I think their implementation is hands down better. That and the free 100 credits per day on DALL-E… :P

          You mean you hate the search engine (and microsoft) or the AI chat?

          I hate microsofts privacy policies and general corporate attitude, though until the open sourced LLMs are close to the level of the private ones, use what works best. A few of them are quite good, and a recent one was beating chatgpt4 in some tasks.

            I hate that Microsoft is drawing me in to use Edge, and forcing me to use an account they can track down to my computers. I hate the front page of Bing trying to shove politics down my throat. I hate Bing itself as a search engine, it seems to be the most likely of the bunch to give me unlabeled paid results.

            Their flavor of AI chat is pleasant. They’re trying to work out the bugs. I have it generate a story nightly for my kids that I can read. I give it some talking points and a rough outline, it’ll generate a nice 10 minute story in three parts, usually…

            It goes of the rails here and there and I have to ask it to retry, but I’m starting to collect a nice selection of starter prompts that give me consistently good results for stories.

              Apparently soon they’ll allow us to use bing chat on any browser, and of course chatgpt4 browser uses bing (likely due to microsofts close ties with openai and profit arrangement). Not sure if that’s the reason why the web browser doesn’t with chatgpt doesn’t work that well!
