That made me chuckle. Naughty LLM.
On a level though I donβt really get the disdain for them as search is a nightmare now and itβs a lot easier to just get the LLM to do it for you.
Except when it hallucinates, draws from biased sources, or straight-up responds with false information.
I'd rather look through the available links myself and research the direct source things came from. AI isn't trained to look specifically for factual information. Unfortunately, a lot of people aren't trained for that, either. But we can still educate ourselves. Relying on a bot is putting one more space between the information you receive and the source that created it.
I'd rather get my information from as close to the original source as possible. Only then can I determine if the source is even worth trusting in the first place.
When I use LLMs for search, I always ask for sources and then follow up.
