I’d add that llms are increasingly the only way I can find useful technical information on anything anymore.
Of course this is solving a problem that shouldn’t fucking exist in the first place, and I still need to take that information back to a search engine to verify it and do actual research, which may be the point.
It’s less about only being able to find it with ai but more about being able nail down definitions and understand the relationships between concepts well enough to know what to actually search for online.
This applies to anything remotely technical. Search results produce hot fucking garbage and the only way to find what you’re looking for these days is to know exactly what you’re looking for before you search. And even then it’s a crapshoot whether you’ll surface anything useful.
Ahh I see what you mean. Yes, I run into that as well. Usually my first try is to search technical forums directly as opposed to google but AI can do the job as well.
No arguments to what you wrote.

Search is so. Fucking. Broken.
Not that I’m taking a dig, but what are you looking for that only Ai can find it?
