> LLMs are much better in searching for information than advertisement-exposure optimized google.

Completely disagree. Just this morning I've been trying to search for how to pair a wireless headset that I own to a new receiver. Gemini tells me there is no need to pair the adapter, but if I do need to do it I should press <button that doesn't exist on the model I specifically searched for>. It also pushes the PDF and TS articles that the manufacturer provides off of my main search window.

This is my example from today, but I have consistently found Gemini suggests outdated, or inaccurate information and cites "sources" that don't match what it says.

They're better at it if you don't actually care about the truth of the result though.

I.e confirming your opinion, compiling a report about something you're not gonna take action on etc

I'm bullish on LLMs. They're incredibly useful for quickly collating and present info on a topic you're proficient or competent in, but maybe rusty. Using programming as an example, this morning I asked claude to write a batch file that launched 4 instances of my application and tiled their windows across my screen (on windows), wait for input on the command line and kill them all again. It spat out a working script in about 15 seconds. It's not pretty, but I know enough batch and Win32 to know that it's going to work (and it does).

Any different with google results?
