For search, chatgpt is the best out there. If I have a question I don't have to read the whole Wikipedia entry. Chatgpt just gives me the relevant part.

And you trust the answer without knowing where it came from?

For now. The SEO people around the globe and the product people at Microsoft had not yet time to work ads into it systematically.

It'll be really interesting to see how resistent it is to these problems.

Once upon a time Google Search was a great product.

Yup but I would never give Microsoft that much power again. They already have too much, and they're abusing it.

Oh, the horrors! Reading a whole Wikipedia entry! (Which is not what people trying to answer a question do anyhow; they look at headings and skim for the bit they want.)

I believe that gives an answer. But the right answer? Even Wikipedia doesn't guarantee that.

I wouldn't trust it. Believe me, I learned the hard way.
