For this use case, how do LLMs provide more value than a standard search engine? They may actually be destroying value here, as LLM-generated text pollutes search results.


They let you find things faster, and they combine and synthesize information from different sources. I’m more on the AI skeptic side and always prided myself on my Google foo, but nowadays chatbots can really save a lot of time with that.

Publishing LLM-generated text is a separate use case, I’m not a friend of that.
