You are in the minority - most people don't even know what your first sentence means. If I told my mum to "c-f" through an "FAQ" she wouldn't understand either term.

Would she understand "log into OpenAI" and "chat to the ChatGPT bot"?

She knows how to log in to websites and type, so yes.

Does she know how to search through a webpage of frequently asked questions?

Not OP, but I don't know how to do that on the iPad of my mother, being 500+ km away and not owning an iPad myself.

I think there's a time and place for chatbots. It's just not everywhere and all the time.
