If you are going to ask ChatGPT some specific tidbit it's better to force it to search on the web.

Remember, an LLM is a JPG of all the text of the internet.

Wait, what?

Isn't that the whole point, to ask it specific tidbits of information? Are we to ask it large, generic pontifications and claim success when we get large, generic pontifications back?

The narrative around these things changes weekly.

		I mean, like most tools they work when they work and don't when they fail. Sometimes I can use an llm to find a specific datum and sometimes I use google and sometimes I use bing. You might think of it as a cache, worth checking first for speed reasons. The big downside is not that they sometimes fail, its that they give zero indication when they do.
