    ChatGPT functions as a search engine by aggregating, interpreting, and delivering information on demand, even though it does not crawl the web like traditional search engines, I think its a big part of moving forward for online content creators...

    It's not a search engine but it is "a big part of moving forward". Search engines now use LLMs in their results but that probably just means we need a new name for the type of page that incorporates both a trad search engine and LLM. When speaking to regular people search engine will do, but for those of us impacted by the changes we need to use the right words.

    Yes, and this is what I'm talking about. I don't think we are all utilizing the true power gpt offers when sending us new sales.

    I think ChatGPT can be considered a search engine, it serves all the purposes a search engine does so why wouldn’t it be..
