Am I the only one who double checks all of the information presented to me, from any source?
How deep do you go? Where do you stop? Just because you can find multiple independent sources saying the same thing doesn't mean it's correct.
I use Claude pretty exclusively, and GPT as a backup because GPT errors too much and tries to train on you too much and has a lackluster search feature. The web UIs are not these company’s priority, as they focus more on other offerings and API behavior. Which means any gripe will not be addressed and you have to just go for the differentiating UX.
For a second opinion from Claude, I use ChatGPT and Google pretty much the same amount. Raw google searches are just my glorified reddit search engine.
I also use offline LLM’S a lot. But my reliance on multimodal behavior brings me back to cloud offerings.

I mostly use Perplexity for search, sometimes ChatGPT. Only when I am looking for something _very_ specific do I use a traditional search engine.
Dropping usage of search engines compounded by lack of support led to me cancelling my Kagi subscription and now I just stick with Google in the very rare occasions that I use a search engine at all. For a dozen searches or so a month, it wasn't worth it to keep paying for Kagi.
You hear about this new programming language called "Frob", and you assume it must have a website. So you google "Frob language". You hear that there was a plane crash in DC, and assume (CNN/AP/your_favorite_news_site) has almost certainly written an article about it. You google "DC plane crash."
LLMs aren't ever going to replace search for that use case, simply because they're never going to be as convenient.
Where LLMs will take over from search is when it comes to open-ended research - where you don't know in advance where you're going or what you're going to find. I don't really have frequent use cases of this sort, but depending on your occupation it might revolutionize your daily work.
