Exactly. These arguments forget how Google is flawed for large swathes of queries due to websites since a long time ago having figured out the algorithm and now game it, while Google doesn't care enough or have the expertise to solve it. Or maybe I should phrase this reply "15 Ways How Google Doesn't Cut It In 2023" so Google can index it...
We can't compare it to some sort of rose glasses view of Google of 2003, but need to compare it to the crappy stale twenty years older engine where you can really only hope the ten first results are OK or otherwise you're out of hope and need to try something else.
Sure, ChatGPT isn't perfect but it has a unique ability to answer me about queries that have not yet been asked or archived. That is a crazy advantage, to be able to assemble responses via a neural network.
ChatGPT needs one more thing though: An indicator of how certain it is of the answer. It's OK to tell us if you're unsure. In fact, it's a problem if it can't.
