I see ChatGPT as the next “layer” on top of google search in the greater scheme of information. Before google, one had to spend a lot of time perusing the internet manually. And before that, people had to read physical books or call someone up and have a conversation over the phone. Google drastically sped up that process by giving you the information in 2 seconds, for what would normally take a few hours.

ChatGPT is a game changer for this same process. It speeds up the googling that would normally take a few hours and gives me my information in a few queries.

There have been so many times where I’m reading a book and need to research a bunch of technical terms it throws at me; which then consists of wading through blog posts or documentation, with varying levels of difficulty and quality.

This process is sped up 100x because of chat GPT, because I can followup with questions and customize them to my specific application. Sometimes I need things explained like I’m five; others, a deep technical deep dive.

Point is, it allows for dynamic interaction with content; it helps when I’m struggling with a bug, documentation, a book I’m reading, or pieces of code myself or someone else has written. It’s been an absolute game changer.
