I mean this is clearly an incorrect take? Google search cannot reason about its contents autonomously, nor synthesize out of sample data from the things it indexes. Google search is a query over user generated content. LLMs generate content. These are fundamentally different things. Even if ChatGPT was just "lossy google" it is a much better UX than searching documents that google returns, since it can just synthesize what I want to hear in a few paragraphs, whereas with Google search I would have to know what to search and synthesize the response I'm looking for after analyzing a few things. There is an argument to be made here that we are eroding the value of intelligence and thinking for ourselves, but as a _product_ its vastly better, imo. Whether or not LLMs actually lead to AGI is yet to be seen though. But I definitely think it has reasoning capabilities that you are underating in your comparison.
