I find this kind of dismissal extremely tiring. It's very lazy to wave away criticism of a tool as a skill issue.

On the tin the claims are both true: LLMs do not replace search (it does not link me to any resources), at best it augments it (with services like Phind or Bing combining the two).

Also, search is made worse by SEO spam, which can be churned out more easily with AI, leading to crap like the following: https://web.archive.org/web/20230103091313/https://www.slowi... (which has been edited to be less nonsensical, but remains hilariously out of place). That's not to say that SEO spam wouldn't exist without AI, but this level of carelessness ("a 32 bit wine bottle is a bottle of wine that has been created with 32 bits of data") seems to be new.

It's the same shit bitcoin peddlers have pushed for years. "Have fun staying poor". Insult you, imply it's a personal failing that you're not getting on board with this thing which coincidentally they have invested heavily in.
