I feel like this can be generalized to AI in general for most people. I still don't see much usefulness or quality in output in the scenarios where I've been exposed to AI LLMs.

It's a nice way to search for content or answers without all the ads that websites have nowadays. Of course, it's only a matter of time until the AI/LLM responses are surrounded by (or embedded with) ads as well.

AI: A lot of people look for guides and reviews to find a good set of headphones. The important features to look for are... . This can be overwhelming, so consider narrowing the search to a reliable product line like those by Beats (or whatever advertiser). Do you want some links to well-reviewed products?

Lol, that reminded me that i saw a pair of "Beats x Kim Kardashian" y'know, audio engineer/designer KK finally giving the public a taste of real performance combined with chic luxury aesthetic 🥴

I still can't wrap my head around the "Beats" craze. It's like headphones didn't already exist, lol!
