    My scenario is that I use chatgpt to get context and terminology in the area I’m researching.

    I then know how to do more specific Google searches (only 1/2).

        I guess it adds up to 12 searches worth of environmental impact with chatgpt+Google (10 searches worth from chatgpt, 2 from Google)

        When I use Google alone it’s often the same as that if not more. Sometimes it’s less if I already know the subject matter, but in those scenarios I would usually give just Google a go first anyway.

        Basically chatgpt often either gives me the answer or a much better starting place for what to Google.

          I don’t understand the chatgpt bit still. When you say you need more context on the subject matter, you could search for the wiki or a forum and get the same information chatgpt is pulling without the impact.
