In a few years we might remember online web search similar to the internet catalog. Thinking, how were you able to navigate internet using that?

- vineyardmike 4y agoI don't think so... The AI Models aren't reliable, and often you want a catalog. If you're searching for a restaurant/product/etc, you want links and aggregated info to pick from (even if you go with "GPT's Top Choice" product). I don't think there is enough search queries that are actually "questions" to kill search. How often are people actually searching "what is easier to learn, a guitar or piano"? I think a true "best case" for LLM based search is that it gets past the keyword searching and into semantic search. If I search Log4J's documentation on how to log errors, the best case search is to deep-link to the docs on that (even if I get the wording of functions wrong). Having Chat-du-jour tell me how to do it will be unreliable (or imprecise), and prevent me from diving deeper into the docs later. We've seen this recently in tons of HN front page postings the last week.
