Chat as a search engine will fail for several reasons. It requires creativity, it's inaccurate with much nich information, and it's slow. There is many reasons to use AI chat technology, but as a search engine replacement it fails completely.

Google search is objectively easier to use, and safer. You can view the website and judge for yourself the integrity of the content. It's slow, because every query that is better on ai chat has to be generated.

However, I am really excited to have a new google toy on my search bar to use when those times come. I hope they put it in the foreground,band offer at least a basic free tier.
