I can't wait until you can give ChatGPT an ISBN and ask it to answer any question by citing that book. The SNR of a book may be high, but when the cost of finding that signal is having to go through 400 pages of dense material, line by line, word by word... well, Google wins.

Google Books is just a search engine. It doesn't yet have the natural language parsing and information synthesis power that chat gpt has
