With a few exceptions, like weather and simple math, Google searches simply return links to web pages. ChatGPT returns information directly. Ask Google to write a cover letter and you’ll get a link to a web page about cover letters. Ask ChatGPT and it will write you the cover letter.

Google will return you links to a poem about unicorns. ChatGPT will write you a brand new poem instead.
