I opened ChatGPT looking for an answer.
Instead, it started asking me questions.
One led to another.
Then came the familiar prompts: “Would you like to look closer at that?” or “Option A or B?”
Moments later, I wasn’t just scrolling — I was exploring.
Somewhere in the exchange, I realized:
I’m not simply searching in ChatGPT.
I’m part of a search that searches back.
ChatGPT vs. Search Engines: Why It Feels So Different
Typing into ChatGPT feels nothing like typing into Google.
Search engines deliver closure. ChatGPT offers continuation.
There are no ranked links — only dialogue.
Each response shifts with your tone, your uploads, and even what you don’t say.
Ask the same question in two different Projects, and the answers will diverge.
Each Project carries its own mood, memory, and momentum.
That’s because ChatGPT isn’t chasing accuracy; it’s tracing meaning.
