I have noticed that I use it less myself. I think honestly though, at least for me, that it is 90% related to the clunky and awkward UI of ChatGPT. If it was easy to natively type the prompt in the browser bar I’d use it much more.

Plus, the annoying text scrolling thingy … Just show me the answer already, hehe.

The annoying text scrolling can’t be removed because the AI generates one word at a time, which is what you are seeing.

Sure it can. Finish generating it server-side, then send it as one big chunk to the user.

To be honest though, ChatGPT is pretty fast at generating text these days compared to how it was at the beginning so it doesn’t bother me as much.

GPT-4 isn’t fast yet so if it will frustrate people if they do that.

What still bothers me, is that it doesn’t do smooth scrolling while generating. It’s tons of tiny jumps and hiccups which make it very hard to read. I tend to scroll up a little as soon as it has generated a few lines, then read at my own pace. Annoying default behaviour though.

That’s what Bard does

Give phind.com a try. It can be set as your default search provider (manually or with a plugin), so you can just type in the search bar.
