I think you need to try it out, with GPT4, because it is so obviously much better than Google. Simple queries are fine with Google, not much difference, but especially for things like coding problems (where you can e.g. specify the environment you are running in) it has always responded with the correct answer the first time. It's already saving me over an hour a day, and as far as I understand there is much more things it can do I am not using.

I'm genuinely asking for a good example here. I've tried a bunch and every time I find Google about 100x faster. I think GPT is good for some things, but search and recommendations it's like going back in time.

Here are some of my questions of today:

> We need to travel by train from Rome to Montpellier, but it is too many stops to do at once. So we would like to stay somewhere for a day in between Rome and Montpellier. What are our options? It needs to be safe, not adding a lot of extra travel time and suitable for a workathon

It returns with four options, approximate travel times and advantages and disadvantages. It understood coworking cafes or bussiness hotels would be a requirement.

> What are all the places an SSL certificate could be cached when calling an API from a Jupiter notebook?

It mentioned some obvious things such OS/browser/network-device, but also that a particular python package exists that is doing this at the application level as well, but only in memory and that a restart of the Jupiter kernel would resolve that.

Now, I'm curious with what kind of keywords I could get meaningful output from Google for these two examples.

What i suspect is happening is that you are micro managing your chat as if it's search. Picking keywords rather than just telling it the problem you are actually trying to solve. Splitting up your problem in sub problems and then trying to find each peace of information manually and combining it yourself to form a conclusion.
