People who haven't gotten into habit of googling stuff in the last 20 years might not get into it at all anymore because of how search engines are gamed with SEO spam tactics nowadays (lemm.ee)

Yeah I had a coworker say she likes to use ChatGPT to find answers and explanations to questions she has that you would normally Google.

This is a terrible idea. While it may contain legitimate info, ChatGPT was not designed to give factual answers. It comes up with convincing answers based on text it has read. You're going to end up with some bad information and it's a bit dangerous to hear that people are starting to use it that way.
