There is a class of problems I no longer use search for. I find LLM’s give really good results for things like command line usage. Or even things like configuring an application. Basically anything that can summarize lots of disperate sources.
Conversely it’s a huge mistake to rely on LLMs for anything that requires authoritative content. It’s not good at appropriately discounting low quality sources in my experience. Google can have a similar problem, but I find it easier to find good sources there first for many topics.
Where LLMs really replace modern google is for topics you only kind of think should exist. Google used to show some pretty tenuously related links by the time you got to page 5 results and there you might find terms that bring you closer to what you’re looking for. Google simply doesn’t do that anymore. So for me, one of the joys is being able to explore topics in a way I haven’t been able to for over a decade
