> I can Google the question, click one of the top results, skip to the relevant part and read it faster than GPT can generate two sentences.
Ironically, this is why people like me prefer LLMs (when they're accurate). With Google, about 50% of the times the top SO hit is not answering my question. So I have to click 5-10 SO links, parse each one to see if:
1. The question being asked is relevant to my problem.
2. The answer actually answers it.
I may be able to do it quickly, but it is a tedious burden on my brain. While GPT doesn't always work, the nice thing about it is that when it does work, it has taken care of this burden for me.
Also, GPT's pretty much memorized a lot of the answers. I once asked it an obscure question involving openpyxl. It gave a perfectly working answer. I wondered: Did it reason it and generate the code, or is there a SO post with the exact same answer? So I Googled it, and sure enough, there was an SO question with the same code!
Except GPT's solution was superior in one tiny respect: The SO answer had some profanity in the code (in a commented line). GPT removed the profanity :-)
