Why use an LLM for something that is a 5 second Google? Google Products is right there in the top. Forums will advice you on alternative products.

Am I getting old? I feel like a dinosaur still Googling things.

Google's search results defaulting to starting with an LLM; and by the power of SEO, so are many of the search results themselves.

Having to add "reddit" to get genuine results was already a meme 3 years back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrFv1O4dbqY&pp=ygUXZ29vZ2xlI...

At this point in time…

…you've got to figure that Google is just as disgusting as Amazon in the ads/search dept.

LLMs seem positively naive in that regard. Just, you know, simply suggesting what their subsumption of the internet suggests.

(For now anyway.)
