Yep clearly it's over my head, brah. The only point I'm making is that I no longer rely on Google for certain information. The reason being is that I'd have to go through 10 pages of reading online forum posts to find a solution to a problem. Where as with AI, it takes all the available information and provides me either 1 solution or multiple solutions all within one shot. Sometimes the information it provides is incorrect and more than likely it just has to do with how I'm phrasing the question. When I rephrase the question, then it provides the answer I'm looking for.

So do I spend 1 hour reading through posts from different online forum boards to find my answer, or do I spend 1 minute, hell even 10 minutes, asking a question and having a summary of answer(s) provided to me?

Call me an idiot if it makes you feel better, but I'm getting the results I require and saving time.
