I disagree.

Sometimes I have a question that would likely require multiple searches on Google.

But sometimes I just have a name or a broad subject and don’t want to have to formulate a question and wait for a long conversation style answer. If I wanted the 8086 manual or something. It’d be extremely cumbersome to use a conversation to find it instead of typing “8086 manual pdf.”

There is significant overlap, but LLM and trad search have their own independent use cases.
