I think LLMs are potentially a good addition. My searches are based on different use cases: one is when I am looking for a quick answer, two when I am looking for some suggestions, three when I am looking to do research. ( Of course ignoring the ones when I google for meanings or quick calculations or to go to a specific site. Thats just cos it's fast, not really a feature). For quick overview answer, LLMs are great. It's not 100% correct, but mostly it is, and that is good enough for a quick answer. Currently google tries to show that and people object as it is stealing traffic from websites. i just need an answer, a coherent useable one. Eg: "What were the movies Scorsese got an Oscar nomination for?" For suggestions, LLMs are just one more of those blogs and listicles that are already showing up in search. If LLM is updated that is. The difference is an LLM would customize the answer according to the query, unlike already pre written content. So, yes useful. Same goes with stuff like: "how to build an email list?" or "What is a effective sales strategy?" For research, Google is more useful. I think we have all done that. Another application which is not realized at this time because we never did it before is the ability to ask follow up questions (which a chat format enables well). Suppose you get an overview of how a quantum computer works, but it would take a lot of effort to ask a follow up question and get a direct answer via a search engine. Eg: "Why is there no point in going beyond thousand Qubits?" There could be modifications like voice to text (a jarvis like interface), or a personal assistant thingy. But those are far fetched. It will help immensely, and for places it does not, we will still google like we have done before.
