It's not so much that people are ditching Google for ChatGPT, it's that historically we tried to use search like an agent - asking it questions it couldn't really answer.

Twitter is now showing me wall-to-wall Republican accounts and right wing viewpoints even though I only follow a handful of Republicans.
Presumably this is Musk's rebalancing of "free speech"?

Can someone American explain to me how insurance and healthcare work together? Don't you have to be fit and well in order to afford insurance?
