To be fair, you could google "1f 8b" or even that entire hex string and Google will tell you the same thing.

Wow. Pretty amazing that chatGPT knows how to use Google.

This seems to really be where we're at now. Not a/better AI but a better search.

[Gys]

Better search because what exactly?

[karmakaze]

Context. I can never get Google to know the context of what I'm looking for, and the more context I add the more random 'important' stuff it decides to show me matching less significant terms. It was right in the article:

> Wall Street loves to play “Who wins, who loses” when a new technology explodes onto the scene. The fingers were all pointing at Google as a potential loser.

It's not just a play. It's business. There are so many people to invest on either Google or Microsoft, if more people wants to invest on Microsoft, some will do it at the expense of Google shares.

the difference is that with google you can trace the source of the statement, and with chatgtp they only option is to believe.

Also that google is able to give me live results whereas an LLM is trained on data from some point in the past. And just maybe I want to actually go to a site I'm searching for and not just wanting a summary or conversation about the topic. I just don't see how an LLM is going to replace search unless it can do all the other useful things search does right now.

Augment search, yes. Replace it with the current chatGPT interface? No way.

And you have comments underneath the StackOverflow answer by people who've tested it.

Which can be extremely useful, and people aren't always going to know to prompt an LLM to give them the info in those comments.
