I'm curious how this is going to play out over time. They way I interact with ChatGPT is very very different from how I interact with Google. When I try to use them the same way one of them fails in frustrating ways.

I completely agree with this. For me I've found ChatGPT to be very useful in helping to generate ideas, learn about things, or explore topics that I don't fully understand. Basically if I'm curious about something, then ChatGPT is really useful. The more I use it, the more I find that I'm poking at responses with follow up questions. It feels much more like a conversation and my interactions/approach is changing as a result. I'm now finding my approach with ChatGPT to start broad ("What's the difference between ____ and ____?"), followed by more questions to dive deeper ("Can you tell me more about ____ and provide some examples?"). It does have it's limits, but I find the way of interacting and teasing out the details that I'm after to be far more interesting and useful. And the more I use ChatGPT, the less I want to use Google. At this point, Google is mostly just simple searches only like "which service is streaming ____?" or "restaurants in my area".
