In the interim (or possibly long term), Google could co-exist with OpenAI. In my little corner of the universe (fire safety engineering), I cannot assume the output produced from ChatGPT is correct. I’m always trying to find out which references it has used for the answer and then having to check if it has actually used it in the context the original author intended. In short I’m still using Google and other search engines to check output from ChatGPT.
