# Why Google Search is obsolete
A few years ago I had a discussion with my brother about the danger of language models for Google Search, for some time now stackoverflow is obsolete because GitHub Copilot replaced it (instead of Googling a problem we face, just write in the comments the problem and Copilot solves your problem). Now, ChatGPT seems to offer better answers than Google Search because it may have a better understanding of our problem (short context).
Example:
I want to understand "[[Heisenberg uncertainty principle]]", I search Google for it, read Wikipedia, but Wikipedia is formatted to be understood by the vast majority.
On the other hand, if I ask ChatGPT (which can take longer sentences/contexts), I can ask subsequent questions allowing the AI to understand where I don't understand the topic.
I could have gotten the same result by asking a physicist, of course, but it's pretty hard to find one, and also an AI doesn't care about its time, or I have to pay for the service, while a human's time is more expensive
So should I sell my Google stocks?
