They're ok. But when I use a search engine it's because I want search results. If I wanted an LLM's interpretation I'd have just asked a search-enabled LLM in the first place.
- ipdashc 2mo agoTrue, but I find it's significantly faster than even "instant" chatgpt, and comes with the advantage that if the summary isn't what I need, I can just scroll down to see the real results (granted, which are usually useless these days). I agree they should make them disable-able though.
- dpark 2mo ago> If I wanted an LLM's interpretation I'd have just asked a search-enabled LLM in the first place. When you search on Google now that’s exactly what you’ve done.
- Retr0id 2mo agoRight, that's the problem I'm describing.
- glimshe 2mo agoI rarely ever want to search. Searching is a means to an end, which is finding a piece of information, an answer. Whenever I'm scrolling through sites on Google Search, I'm just wasting my time filtering out misses. With Gemini and other AIs, I go straight to the answer and request a link (if not provided automatically) if I really want to check the source.
- bdangubic 2mo agoeh why would you check the source, who bother with minor things like that these days :)
- strangecasts 2mo agoYeah, as someone used to searching for specific turns of phrase, having the query automatically interpreted as a question is quite annoying - for looking up song lyrics, game walkthroughs and articles by quotes I want a page list, not a summary There's a RAM crisis on, you know, let me save you the compute!
