We've been waterboarded by advertisements for so fucking long that some of y'all have forgotten search was near perfect in 2018ish, and then Google switched their results algorithm to prioritizing ads and SEO keyword bloating.
i keep seeing people say that LLMs are good at search.

NO. WRONG.

You have just forgotten how good search used to be.

Google broke it's own flagship product, and so you are accepting a demented chatbot's half baked gishgallop because we no longer have functional web search.
