Google is now "a tool" not "the tool" for finding information. Perplexity and Phind do a good job and DDG is there for the privacy angle. In addition to LLMs just giving you the answer you need.

How on earths name do you use an LLM to find information ? I just don’t get it. For current events it out of date and it confidently feeds me shit ?

I might use them occasionally for a rubber ducky but , replacing Google ? Hm

Usually more for solution suggestion for programming stuff. Anything where I cam verify the answer.

Yeah fair enough. I just don’t see how this is entirely revolutionary though. We still need to know our stuff.

ChatGPT often googles it for me and gives me a summary

But it's still Google.
