Google search results just search the web and return something already indexed. ChatGPT manipulates abstract thought. (Not always successfully, but more often than you do, based on our interaction so far.)

Yes, you can say "please solve this mathematical problem" and sometimes get a novel working solution that has never been published but is formulated on the spot. Rather than just output text, you can direct its behavior in profound ways, including successfully completing miracle, literally impossible tasks. That's right: ChatGPT can perform a miracle and successfully in one try complete a task that is by definition impossible, such that it breaks the very test itself.

You don't get that from a mere search engine.

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

That's where you get your miracles from.

I guess I won't convince you that ChatGPT does not manipulate abstract thoughts, but just words. It really just interpolates between texts it has read, sometimes resulting in interesting answers, sometimes resulting in complete bullshit. And it has absolutely no clue about how wrong its output is. Because it does not "think" or "understand". It really just brilliantly copy-pastes words that seem relevant.
