Its very subjective, google has been such a mess i have been trying every other alternative for years. None of them i liked and i begrudgingly settled for bing.
One of my main frustration is the over generalization of what they want me to click on. I try to find information about a thing and the top 5 are just stores that sell it instead.
Chatgpt has proven much more capable in finding very specific stuff. You can even ask what you do NOT want.
It does frequently hallucinate a website if you do get too specific but its not worse then all the dodgy crap sites you usually have to avoid in search. A non existing site cant attempt to steal my money or data.
That’s just googling with several wildly pointless extra steps of also googling.

I’ve got nothing against people not using LLM search if they don’t find value in it.
That just doesn’t describe me or my experience with it.
To be clear, the vast majority of my searches don’t involve LLM results at all. But I’m glad to have it on the edge cases where I find it useful.
Such as?
I’ve used it for code, most often.
I’ve saved many hours of work with it, in languages I don’t really even know.
