Every time I try an AI search engine, I always end up going back to Google. Their AI summaries at the top of search results are, honestly, "good enough."

This is, in part, because most of my Google searches are 1-4 words; as opposed to the full prose that I need to type into an LLM.

What am I missing?

I find LLMs are useful if I don't know enough to know what to search for; if I need to craft a "long-form" search query; or otherwise need to learn something in a Q-and-A format.

Edit: One of the things that ChatGPT has replaced Google, for me, is when I need a quick joke image. Instead of searching through Google Images, I just think of a quick prompt of something silly. I'm using some silly ChatGPT images in some test scripts; and now that the US courts declared they aren't protected by copyright, I know there is 0% chance I will get in trouble for them.
