I continue to hold the strong position that calling LLMs without injecting source truths is pointless.
LLMs are exceptionally powerful as a reasoning engine. It’s useless as a source of truths or facts.
We have chat bots, chat bots with automatic RAG etc. After the initial excitement wears off, you’re going to want a way to inspect and adjust the source queries yourself. In this case, being able to select what to search for in Google might be a good way for the cooking recipe usecase.

This is reflected in their name: a “language model” implies that they are tools for working with language. That’s what they’ve been trained to do, and it’s language manipulation where they truly excel. Want them to work with specific facts? Paste those into the language model as part of your original prompt!" https://simonwillison.net/2023/Apr/2/calculator-for-words/ https://simonwillison.net/2023/Apr/2/calculator-for-words/
