Interesting, I'm the opposite now. Why would I click a couple links to read a couple (verbose) blog posts when I can read a succinct LLM response. If I have low confidence in the quality of the response then I supplement with Google search.
I feel near certain that I am saving time with this method. And the output is much more tuned to the context and framing of my question.
Hah, take for example my last query in ChatGPT:
> Are there any ancient technologies that when discovered furthered modern understanding of its field?
ChatGPT gave some great responses, super fast. Google also provides some great results (though some miss the mark), but I would need to parse at least three different articles and condense the results.
To be fair, ChatGPT gives some bad responses too.. But both an LLM and Google search should be used in conjunction to perform a search at the same time.
Use LLMs as breadth-first search, and Google as depth-first search.
