I don't really understand why it is acceptable to speak for others on this topic. It is fine if it doesn't work well for you. It is also fine if it works well for others.

These blanket statements lead to flame wars.

I would suggest that that would make more sense as a response to the upthread comment: “Im not sure people really know how to use an AI chat bot or understand its a more powerful, quicker and personally more fun way of getting information then just a Google search” than it does to someone explaining why they disagree that the only explanation for people not agreeing with the superiority of AI Chatbots is that they don't know how to use them or understand their innate superiority.

Sure it does for some...just how another perceives a reply. Im cool with their reply.

For me with the two research examples of using GPT I gave/use it for the information is accurate. My friend and I have driven an hour away (for both) a few times (different spots) and hiked. Same goes for calories GPT has in it's knowledge base for well known chains. If it wasnt a chain restaurant GPT might not have it in it's knowledgebase or possibly have it wrong.

It is clear to me that people who make these comments, simple don't use the models much.

To say it is faster to get information from Google than the latest update to Sonnet is simply absurd to me.

I might have even agreed a few months ago but certainly not now.
