This same phenomenon is true for classic search engines as well. Whenever I am becoming informed on a new topic my first searches are always very naive and targeted just at discovering the relevant jargon that will let me make better searches. It turns out that many disciplines contain analogue concepts, just with different words being used to describe them. Understanding the domain specific language used is more than half the battle.
- nothercastle 1y agoYeah I reminder that being the trick to get Google to provide good results was to find some key industry or area terms for what you were looking for. This doesn’t work anymore because Google search has gotten so bad
- skydhash 1y agoIf I’m dealing with an unfamiliar domain, my next step is always wikipedia or an introductory book. Just to collect a sets of keywords and references to narrow my future searches. I don’t think I’ve ever asked google a question shaped query.
- citrin_ru 1y agoThe difference is that in the search engine output one can somewhat judge if a site is trustworthy. E. g. if I research a legal question I would trust a guide on a government website more than an answer on Reddit which contradicts an official source. With LLM I don’t know where weight for a particular answer came from. You can ask LLM for sources but its text answer can still misrepresent these sources.
