> We no longer have Google, effectively
Veering offtopic a bit... Google lost its (search) way years ago. See the "The Man who Killed Google Search" [1], and the room they left for alternatives like DuckDuckGo.
At work, we have full access to Claude, and I find that I now use that instead of doing a search. Sure it's not 100% reliable, but neither is search anyhow, and at least I save time from sifting through a dozen crappy content farms.
When you use a search engine, you can evalute the "trustness" of the source (webpage), this essentially disappears when using a chatbot
Only if you're dumb about it. Asking for source links is one thing I do all the time, and chatgpt gives citations by default.
What's the benefit of using a chatbot if you still have to go and read all of it's sources on your own?
