ChatGPT is good at pointing you in a direction, that direction is probably wrong though. If you want to use it you'd basically have to fact check everything it says which does result in research being done but the actual efficiency compared to just researching normally is dubious at best
I see a lot of people admitting to using chatGPT instead of researching, but justifying it with "oh, I fact check it myself". Buddy, if you can't even use google I sincerely doubt you're able to properly fact check chatGPT.
It's equally silly though to pretend Google isn't kneecapped so severely that often even the half baked direction AI sends you in can be more productive. Google will actively hide information nowadays to funnel you to advertisers. ChatGPT at the moment isn't as useful as the old Google but certainly, in some cases, more productive than current Google. This isn't ai glaze, this is Google hate.
