    Yet again tech companies are here to ruin the day. LLM are such a neat little language processing tool. It’s amazing for reverse looking up definitions (where you know the concept but can’t remember some dumb name) or when looking for starting points or want to process your ideas and get additional things to look at, but most definitely not a finished product of any kind. Fuck tech companies for selling it as a search engine replacement!

      It is great at search. See this awesome example I hit just today from Google’s AI overview:

      Housing prices in the United States dropped significantly between 2007 and 2020 due to the housing bubble and the Great Recession:

      2007: The median sales price for a home in the first quarter of 2007 was $257,400. The average price of a new home in September 2007 was $240,300.

      2020: The average sales price for a new home in 2020 was $391,900.

      See, without AI I would have thought housing prices went up between 2007, and that $391,900 was a bigger number than $257,400.
