I’ve heard a lot of people say they use Google considerably less after they started using ChatGPT, but personally my usage of Google hasn’t gone down that much. I still make lots of random searches out of curiosity, and use Perplexity to make those same searches, I’d actually say Perplexity has made me search more in total.
However, it has greatly reduced the amount of troubleshoot searching I’ve done since I can ask GPT about how to do X and Y in a certain app (and often gives accurate answers about navigating app UIs), and troubleshooting.
