Humans are really gullible for the appearance of confidence. And humans are also very prone to wishful thinking.
It's not just one clean answer and we're done. In my experience it is helpful in breaking the problem down into stuff you can Google.
Yeah I can see that being useful. I’ve also seen a lot of non-technical people straight up accept whatever comes out of it, so that’s a little worrying. It’s true of Google searches too, of course, but at least a google search gives N results someone can check rather than 1.
With the example questions I provided, it would take many hours to do research on the subject. GPT provided initial answers instantly, and then fact checking was easy.
That’s what we did with gpt-3. With plugins you can have gpt fact-check itself.
Also, if you have a system for dedicated knowledge, you can use embeddings - with embeddings gpt has very little room for hallucinations, and it can provide detailed references.

Those are top of my head, but really anything that is either a super-specific niche, or requires merging a few niches together, Google won't help you with.
