- SkyPuncher 2y agoI already have. Never thought I would, but Google search results are literally unusable for me. Not to mention, LLMs are way better at synthesizing multiple sources into coherent response. I end up asking and LLM then searching only as secondary research.
- aerhardt 2y ago> Google search results are literally unusable for me Totally on the same boat. Information is just much harder to find and friction becomes higher. I'd rather deal with the occasional hallucination than with the utterly enshittified SERP experience.
- xnx 2y agoI certainly have replaced many of my Google Searches with Gemini chats
- rurban 2y agoBecause they didn't start the enshittification of Gemini chat results yet, where you have to wade through paid ads spam, similar to hearing politicians talk. That's the real advantage of the open deepseek weights. They cannot enshittify this, you can run it locally. Just with an old snapshot
- luma 2y agoThat's only a problem if you presume that Google cannot figure out a way to monetize being the second brain that you offload a lot of cognitive tasks to. Hey google I'm hungry, ok how does Pizza sound? Great, make it so. OK, sending an order to pizza-company-that-paid-Google. They stand to tap into something far more powerful than advertising if they can position themselves as your agent.
