Google literally puts AI "search" at the top of its page and you expect everyone to just ignore that?

I'm not justifying Googles grift.

All I'm saying is that an LLM is only decent at generating text. Everything else it sucks at. So it isn't logical to use it as a search engine. Google is also to blame for that. They are slapping AI to whatever they have running. Like most tech companies these days.

Compare that to Perplexity, which is a search engine first and only uses an LLM to make a summary of websites that are riddled with SEO. And then add a link so you can check for yourself if the LLM is hallucinating or not.

Don't be like a Techbro conflating LLMs and General AI. They are different things. And the sooner all users understand this the better.
