ChatGPT as a Digital Wellbeing Tool

In general, ChatGPT with web search can mitigate the problem of the modern web: annoying cookie consents, pages overoptimized for SEO where relevant information is only a fraction of the overall content, pop-ups, advertisements, unnecessarily slow to load websites, and so on. Finally, we can focus on the content instead of employing 99% of our brain resources wrestling against all that mess. So, I advocate that ChatGPT with web search (or any LLM equipped with web search functionality) can be a new way to interact with the web, a sort of new UI for the web. And it’s a UI that respects users’ sense of agency and time more than most websites do. In this sense, ChatGPT can be seen as a digital wellbeing tool.
