    I’m not justifying Googles grift.

    All I’m saying is that an LLM is only decent at generating text. Everything else it sucks at. So it isn’t logical to use it as a search engine. Google is also to blame for that. They are slapping AI to whatever they have running. Like most tech companies these days.

    Compare that to Perplexity, which is a search engine first and only uses an LLM to make a summary of websites that are riddled with SEO. And then add a link so you can check for yourself if the LLM is hallucinating or not.

    Don’t be like a Techbro conflating LLMs and General AI. They are different things. And the sooner all users understand this the better.
