@toddsundsted if you haven't tried out Kagi, I recommend it as a search engine. In my experience it handles most queries better than Google or DDG, and the ability to adjust your preferences is great. In particular, for programming-related queries, it tends to prefer primary sources over SEO garbage (e.g. official documentation instead of w3schools).

For ChatGPT as a search engine, I'd be wary of the factuality of anything it puts out. As pointed out in this post, these models are trained to sound correct, not be correct. If it happens to know the right answer, it will probably give it to you, but if it doesn't, it will happily lie to you. And unless you then go do the research you were trying to avoid (google, etc), you probably can't tell the difference.
