I no longer use Google. ChatGPT from now on.

yeah, well ChatGPT cant replicate google's image results for your mom

Does ChatGPT give you woke graphics and black inventors?

It is fine for simple answers, but the more complex the answer needs to be and the more caveats needed, the less effective it is. The lack of citations certainly adds issues as well.

I use the premium version and I get citations and references when available

Thank you.

Yep. Grok 3 for me. Get to the answer much faster and sources. No need to sift through ads and garbage links that are just promoted. Y a fake algorithm.

You can ask for citations. It’s a non-issue for me.

Do legacy search engines not do the exact same thing? I’m not speaking to one being better than another, I’m just saying the nature of all of these are compilations of what they search.

Sometimes it completely fabricates information, even inventing research papers and attributing them to people who had nothing to do with the research.

What you get from it depends more on HOW you ask it something than WHAT you ask it.

I realized I didn't communicate my point well but the dogs were at the door and I didn't bother to come back and edit. It isn't so much the lack of any citations; it is that the citations are often poor. I occasionally ask questions in areas in which I have a high level of expertise. The problem is often AI is not using what would be considered authoritative sources in the field. This will change as it evolves, but right now, AI is in its infancy. In areas I understand well, I find it to be rather shallow; early WIki days sort of shallow. For me, I find it fine for general interest things but lacking beyond that.
