    As a massive car enthusiast ChatGPT is a fucking GODSEND now that Google is completely shit.

    I wanted to know what model of transmission was in a car, hours of googling only returned me link after link after link of gearboxes to buy, parts for gearboxes to buy all like 2000 - 2004 make and model. Now for those who dont know, gearboxes are often internally the same with different casings for different manufacturers or use cases, so “How much horsepower can a make and model gearbox support” is a waste of time but “How much power can an Aisin A340e support” gets you the right info.

    I asked Chatgpt, and yep. Thats the one.

      please use Bing Copilot instead of ChatGPT for this. it’s the same language model underneath, largely, but the distinction of backing replies with actual sources and citing those sources in a way that allows you to click through and check the information you’re getting is huge for a variety of important reasons.
