I still use search engines. I do not like to be spoon fed. I want to learn from the real people. Not AI generated shit. ChatGPT or other LLMs are trained on old data, they do not contain newer information. Newer information and knowledge are produced by the real humans. LLMs are great for quick fact checking, but not for searching. For example: What's the height of mount Everest? LLMs will most probably give right answer.

What are the specs for new Goolge Pixel 9a? LLM can't answer this may after a year they can.

Not anymore

Can you elaborate?

Whenever you search for some advice (laptop with best battery life in 2025) or reviews (hubspot vs. salesforce) you are barraged with torrents of AI-generated slop. Now that it's also taking over the search engine itself (AI summaries) your whole experience will be dumbed down to the point of mindless automaton consuming pre-packaged tidbits of revenue-generating pre-approved sanitised elite-friendly information.

I've always found it curious how the level of technology in Children of Men seemed to have stalled at around the time of the outbreak. From where I see it, the maturation of LLMs is the zombie outbreak for human communication.
