ChatGPT and Google

I'm using ChatGPT more and more now. It's basically replaced Google as my search engine, because Google has trashed its own search engine so thoroughly that it's complete garbage. 

It's a pleasure to search for something and receive straight information, not on SEO-optimized pile of trash. Plus it handles more complex queries far, far better.

It's a win in every way but one: Wikipedia. I'm concerned that Wikipedia, which is a world treasure, could become less and less important. It's so unique that it would be a disaster if it's lost.

Plus ChatGPT is an information scraper, so if content stops being created, what will it scrape?

In the meantime, I'm very happy to get actual results from my search queries.
