Yes, you can often get sensible answers from ChatGPT, but that isn't
what I was referring to.
ChatGPT doesn't do a web search, so may miss some data.

My examples were web search engines that use AI to produce a summary
of the search results.
This should typically produce better results than a chatbot like ChatGPT.
