    I’ve never used ChatGPT and I’m not sure I ever will. Seems really sketchy to use it as a search engine, given it will just make shit up*.

    *Yes I know it’s not actually capable of “making shit up” but the effect is the same

      ChatGPT is not the same thing as Bing Chat. ChatGPT is more for processing/generating text and doesn’t have access to the internet, so it doesn’t know anything after September 2021. Still, though, it’s pretty useful for when accuracy is not that important like for improving/correcting your writing, generating summaries, brainstorming ideas, and even refactoring code sometimes

      One good use I found was helping me recall words. I’ll describe how the word is used or give it a definition and it’ll usually give me the correct one
