I totally agree, I really appreciate them. Half the time they give me the answer straight away.
And when they're not helpful, it's no different from the first search result not being helpful and going to the second. Plus, they do a pretty good job of only showing them for the types of searches where they're appropriate.
Are the right 100% of the time? Of course not. But snippets weren't right 100% of the time, and not infrequently clicking on the top search result will contain information that's wrong as well. Because the Internet isn't 100% right.
The idea that a "wall of text from AI" is somehow bad doesn't make any sense to me. And it's not a "wall", it's basically paragraph-sized. Where the context is really helpful in determining whether the answer seems correct/reasonable.
