> These are all things I do not want to do, especially now, with Google having become a sea of spam in which to hunt for a few useful things.

Seriously, just don't use Google for search. Google search is just a way to get you to look at their ads.

Use a search engine that is aligned with your best interests, suppresses spammy sites, and lets you customise what you want it to surface.

I've used chatgpt as a coding assistant, with varying results. But my experience is that better search is orders of magnitude more useful.
