I barely search anymore, unless its images or websites or something. I've found a lot of use for Bing chat despite the hate it gets. It gives me a lot of utility value.

Not much, to be honest. I still have doubts that models aren't allowed or it's considered immoral to answer, so half the time I search by myself. But I like using Bing for boring jobs or tasks, although hallucinations can be the problem for many I know how to do damage control.
Being more direct;
Is it useful? Yes. Does it replace it? No.
The decrease in quality in the new ChatGPT 4.0 is actually making me Google more once again.
I use Edge, so when I search something in Bing I also get a reply from the AI simultaneously.
If the question is trivial, I trust GPT got it right. If the question is semi-complex, I ask, then confirm with a web search. For some reason Google used to be a lot smarter in the past, too. These days it's more of a link fetcher.
There are certainly cases where searching it is just 50x faster than asking an LLM, however i think GPT-5 will fully replace search for me (or possibly GPT-4.5 if such a thing exists).
2% - I don't use chatbots as a replacement for searching and reading for myself. Not yet anyway.
But for abstract thinking, I turn to ai.
For instance, merging two different types of technologies in new ways.
Ai chatbots are good at this
