Google is already dumping LLMs into search and it works well and is free.

It doesn't work well. The searches are wrong and uninformative much of the time.
Any examples of bad ones? I find them perfectly fine for my queries.
Search for anything mechanically car related and the results are terrible or wrong.
Do you have a concrete example I can reproduce? I searched for things like how to change the filter of X make and model and it seems correct, not sure if that's what you meant.
I'm not the person you replied to but I'm wondering which Google AI product you are referring to that you use for search which is so excellent that you need someone to find for you an example of it failing?

I think Google has several ai products with search features?

Which one in your experience "seems correct"?

I'm fascinated because I've never found any LLM to be particularly error free at search.

Google.com with the AI overview or whatever they call it now. It seems to source web page information for grounding so it's reasonably correct and doesn't hallucinate recently at least.
It works very poorly
