When you need an introduction to the subject area as much as you needed specific information from it; then an LLM explaining terms and offering options for further exploration can be a nice thing. (I assume they'll use it that way...) When you're hunting for a particular fact, like "that bit of code i half remember seeing on a page 15 years ago", then I don't see anything for an LLM to add. Google had a pretty good index for that purpose about 15 years ago, but they've chosen to prioritize other goals since then. I dunno if anyone works "find things you're searching for" as a market now. Which is an answer to your question: Does it matter if an LLM helps search the web? That's not what people are doing, that's not what these companies are selling.
