The literal only argument here is just "I don't have to use a bunch of Google tabs anymore because ChatGPT can lie to me all in one place!!" lmao

Like, the only way this works is if ChatGPT is literally always correct at all times (which will never be the case fundamentally), because otherwise it's even worse than the existing process of just using Google because it's just another step before you end up needing to do that anyway

This isn't even one of those "oh in the made-up future where ChatGPT is magically perfect, this will be useful, therefore we should support AI-bros right now so we can get there" types of things, this is just assuming that ChatGPT in its current form is somehow a good research tool which is just about the opposite of the case
