10 years ago google would have had a forum post describing your exact problem with solutions within the first 5 results.

Today google delivers 3 pages of content farm spam with basic tutorials, 30% of them vaguely related to your problem, 70% just containing "aws" somewhere, then stops delivering results.

The LLM is just fixing search for you.

Edit: and by the way, it can fix search for you just because somewhere out there there are forum posts describing your exact problem.
