If I know what I want, just not exactly where, I'll go straight for a search. But if it's more fuzzy then LLMs has totally changed how I acquire knowledge.
Now I find it more productive to ask an LLM to get some keywords or similar which I might search for afterwards.
The great thing about LLMs is that, unlike a search engine, you can tell it "no, not quite like that, more like this" to guide it.

- magicalhippo 2y agoMostly because I'm not a paying user. I use local LLMs for easier stuff, so not often I need to reach to ChatGPT. Besides, I guess I want to have some control over the search, like which sites to visit. Sometimes the search might retur something tangential, but interesting for example.
