Well said. Part of the issue I’ve been noticing is because Google has fucked their search people I know who used to search for answers are more often using LLMs to search. They don’t try alternatives, they just give up doing any kind of searching for anything they might want to know.
It’s all part of the business model. The LLMs won’t be free forever. Build dependence on LLMs and destroy alternatives, to create future paying customers. Convenience is the trojan horse of all corporate tech these days. What tech bros want is for access to human knowledge to only be accessible through proprietary pay-for-access LLMs that they can manipulate (e.g., re-define all racism as anti-white racism)
