Then they're not very good at search.
It's like saying the proverbial million monkeys at typewriters are good at search because eventually they type something right.
- wat10000 1y agoHuh? All the classic search engines required you to click through the results and read them. There's nothing wrong with that. What's different is that LLMs will give you a summary that might make you think you can get away with not clicking through anymore. This is a mistake. But that doesn't mean that the search itself is bad. I've had plenty of cases where an LLM gave me incorrect summaries of search results, and plenty of cases where it found stuff I had a hard time finding on my own because it was better at figuring out what to search for.
