MODERATORS
yeah for low stakes how-tos I've been asking more and more using one of the free LLMs. For higher stakes I ask for their sources if they can give it and go from them on my own.
It's been really nice to be able to type a plain question (in any language) into Google and receive a concise answer before scrolling down to confirm with more trustworthy sources. In particular it's been very good for solving annoyances with UI options by directing me to exactly what I'm looking for. A traditional search will often conflate my search with synonyms (even when using quotations, which is some bullshit), and even ignore what language my search was in.
e: Also you should be careful when clicking on any links provided by an LLM because they can accidentally send you phishing links.
SEO destroyed google's usefulness. AI is a cope for that but AI kills the incentives for very thing it depends on for it's usefulness, user generated content.
