Generative AI still has a ways to go for other forms of research, and it will never fully replace the utility of a search engine. They're two different tools for different but overlapping tasks.

Just to be charitable to GP and not to enter the debate, many of my colleagues have replaced Google with ChatGPT as their first port of call.

Even AI code suggestions seem to be only a minor improvement over basic LSP integration. One major exception is tedious formatting of the text—say you want to copy over a table by hand to a domain value, copilot is really good at recognizing values and situating them appropriately in the parent l-value.

If chatbots could serve as my RAM, surely they'd be able to generate code relevant to the rest of the codebase or at the very least not require deep scrutiny to ensure their RAM matches mine (it most often does not).
