I use ChatGPT (free) a lot for what would normally be quick Google searches. I get better answers - just the answers - without trawling through SEO spam, ads and overly verbose content. It feels like being a kid asking dad a bunch of questions and I love it.

It's good for coding too. I sometimes dread browsing the docs to remember how to do something simple like a .reduce call, so I have ChatGPT spit it out for me. It keeps me focused on bigger problems.

It's good at the first phase of travel planning, when I want a rough idea of what to see. I ask it to give a Google Maps search link for each result.
