Chat GPT as an alternative for google search
Many people have already started moving in this direction where they have started using GPT tools as their alternative to standard Google search. In the last few decades, we have seen so many technological advancements and even Google search had competitors during the early days and I remember using Yahoo too during the early days. Only later Google became very popular because of their algorithm.
GPT-4 is believed to be more advanced and people who have already started experimenting with GPT-4 have been saying that it has the potential to take the web to a different dimension. The capabilities of these GPT applications are really amazing and making it one of the strongest tools of the century. I have to admit that we are still in the early stages of this technology and we still need a lot more adoption and advancement. The conversation with GPT is not fully accurate but it can be made great in the coming years.
When Google search was first very popular, many people were against it because they were very comfortable with other search engines and they did not want to get away from what they were already using. Any technology will initially have some resistance during the early days and I believe the same is happening with Chat GPT as well. People are afraid to use that for now because it also misguides people with incorrect information.
Code samples from Chat GPT
This is one of the biggest use cases of Chat GPT. Most of developers find this amusing because when you ask for a specific code and a logic to Chat GPT, it is able to give you some accurate answers. Sometimes the syntax might be incorrect or the code sample shared might be incorrect but the logic given is very good and this is the best use case that happens as an alternative to Google search.
Sometimes I myself use Chat GPT to get some code samples. I learned this from one of my colleagues who used to say that if we need syntax and if we need a comparison as to how a code would look in different programming languages, Chat GPT is the best place to ask. I once had a query myself where I had to convert a SQL query to a Mongo Query. Instead of spending hours in Google search and Stack overflow, I went and asked Chat GPT and it was able to give me what I was looking for.
The only problem with Chat GPT is the right question we need to be asking. It is one of the biggest problems and this is where more improvement is required. I personally think that this can be improved in the coming versions and shouldn't be a big problem because we have the same problem with our regular Google searching too. We sometimes don't know which questions we should be asking exactly.
Chat GPT saves a lot of time
When it comes to searching in Google, we mostly spend a lot of time phrasing our questions and surfing through lots of answers and get our best answers. Many people have expressed that if the same question is asked to Chat GPT, it can easily give relevant answers and mostly just one precise answer. Sometimes the answer is not accurate to what we ask but if we rephrase the question a little bit, we get easy answers that become accurate and we get what we need.
This definitely saves a lot of time for us. We don't have to sit and read all the answers suggested by Google. Sometimes I end up spending a lot of time in Stack Overflow to read many answers and then finally work with the answer that is useful for me.
