In the context of LLM AIs vs. traditional search engines, I tried this one. The results were...hilarious to say the least. > what is fc barcelona's latest result > FC Barcelona's latest result is a 2-1 win against Real Betis in La Liga on February 5th, 2023 Half truths, whole lies. Barcelona's last game was in Feb 5 indeed but against Sevilla at a 3-0 scoreline [1]. The 2-1 win against Betis was in Feb 1 [2]. In fairness this escaped me. Pretty close to the truth. What tipped me off was my next question: > who scored the goals > FC Barcelona's goalscorers in their 2-1 win against Real Betis on February 5th, 2023 were Ángela Sosa, Rinsola Babajide and Natalia Montilla. Bro, I've no idea who those people are and they certainly aren't FCB first team members. (Unfortunately, ChatGPT is at capacity atm so I can't replicate the same experiment. Maybe Perplexity is just a poorly-written/trained bot.) In contrast, I just have to type "fc barcelona" in Google to get their most recent results accurately; then click on those results to see who scored the goals, accurately once more. It even helps correlate the actual game date to the confusing "matchday" league taxonomy. My point being, LLMs have been impressive in their current iteration but I don't think they will replace traditional search anytime soon. Maybe it will eat at the market share but I don't think this is an existential threat to Google. Even the fact that ChatGPT is at capacity at the moment says something about the real-world viability of LLMs as search engines. 2012 called and is asking if you are web-scale.
