    No it isn't. Google search "who was the jon stewart of the 80s" gives me nothing but information about Jon Stewart. Some of the links say Jon Stewart was a bartender in the 80s. ChatGPT gave me names and short reasons for why they're similar, like this:

    Alexander Cockburn: Cockburn was a left-wing journalist and commentator who gained a following in the 1980s and 1990s. He was known for his acerbic wit and his willingness to take on controversial topics like the Reagan administration's foreign policy and the influence of corporate money in politics.

    ChatGPT can tell you what you should be searching for when the concept is too abstract and Google can't give you a page discussing precisely the topic you searched for.
