There's certain things it's not going to be able to do well like look up reviews. But it has started to replace me looking on google or reddit for the answers to programming questions. I am cursed enough to have to use salesforce for my job and it does a wonderful job of answering questions related to the stupid stuff salesforce does. Also does a great job with sql. I should mention that I use GPT4.

No but I started almost googling questions in a chatGPT format before stopping myself and realizing it's a chatGPT question. Like for example asking a anthropology question about "what do we know about x species from x period?" I could google it but then do some clicking before I find my answer, or not. But chatGPT can give me something to then go ahead and google for more detail. One day soon google (or the worlds largest search engine) will = an advanced chatGPT. Also chatGPT is too early to be reliable, it's wrong waaay too much and in the dumbest ways. If you don't also use google to find sources you can verify stuff with you may end up looking really silly.
I found that there are some issues ChatGPT can't do, like memory management

sometimes I use it to write small blocks of code to save a BUNCH of time, also saves having to look through stack overflow >_>
I write software for a living and I find that ChatGPT is useless if you're just trying to explore for answers since it makes up answers a lot of times. For those instances (which is a majority of the time), I still end up using Google. It is pretty useful if you've already narrowed down the scope of your question and you're just asking ChatGPT for suggestions on how to implement a solution that you had in mind.
Never used Google to begin with. DuckDuckGo is sufficient for my search engine needs. But I have been using ChatGPT more for things I'd usually search for.
