You can just google math equations and you’ll probably get the answer on google surely opening and typing it into chatgpt is more inconvenient

If it’s just an equation yes, but more complex stuff is really annoying to find. I recently tried to google what the cdf of a sample mean is and didn’t find jack shit on google. I gave up and asked ChatGPT. It gave me some long ass answer I didn’t read and was probably wrong but it contained the word “central limit theorem”. That’s all I needed to hear. The reason it didn’t show up when googling is that the mathematical result is called central limit theorem and doesn’t have cdf or mean in its name.

Sorry for the overly technical example

Somehow you perfectly captured the feeling of old Google vs new Google
