Genuine question: is there a present or planned value proposition for people like me who already have decent search skills? Or are these really for children/elders who (without making any normative claim about whether this is a good thing or not) can't be arsed to perform searches themselves? Does someone else have good search skills but mingle traditional search engines with LLMs anyways? Why? I use LLMs every day b…
I agree that you can't TRUST them, but half the links regular search turns up are also garbage, so that's not really worse, per se.

The main hard part of searching isn’t formulating queries to write in the Google search bar, it’s clicking on links, and reading/skimming until you find the specific answer you want.
Getting one sentence direct answers is a much superior UX compared to getting 10 links you have to read through yourself.

- I count calories... eat out always and at somewhat healthy chains (Cava, Chipolte, etc). Tell GPT (via voice while driving to & or after eating) what ive eaten half the day at those places and then later for dinner. It calculates a calorie count estimation for half the day and then later at dinner the remaining. I have checked to see if GPT is getting the right calories for things off websites and it has.
- Have hiking friends who live an hour or two hours away and we hike once a month an hour or less drive is where we meet up and hike at a new place. GPT suggests such hikes and quickly (use to take many searches on Google to do such). Our drives to these new hikes learned from GPT have always been under an hour.
So far the information with those examples has been accurate. Always enjoy hearing how others use LLMs... what research are you getting done in one or two queries which used to take MANY google searches?

Given how many of those SEO spam sites are themselves generated by ChatGPT now, OpenAI can simply back-reference their own logs to find out which sites are probably SEO spam while everyone else is left guessing. That's vertical integration!
I’m sure they will be more subtle than that otherwise it will get circumvented. I’m sure they will/are tackling this at the model level. Train them to both generate good completions while also embedding text with good performance at separating generated and human text.

Perplexity is a really terrible name for a product and that alone will hold it back from being a real competitor.
It's not like ChatGPT (or ChatGTP as half of people call it) is much better.

I think this is just the first step for a full-featured agent that not only does searches for you, but also executes whatever was your goal (e.g. a restaurant reservation, etc)

Honestly, if I can disable ads by paying them, then I'm ok with it. Google will suck all your data even if you pay, and link the entire earth of services to your identity. For now, chatgpt doesn't care, and I already pay for what they provide. May they kill Google. 20 years old me would freak out hearing me that, they used to be my heroes.
So the issue is if you let people opt out by paying you’re left with a low intent, likely lower net worth group of people to advertise to. As a result those eyeballs are worth less. The advertisers will turn to other platforms if you only let the worst people see their ads. Unless enough people all pay, the whole thing stops working. But there aren’t enough people who will pay because most people don’t care. Tldr: th…

The LLMs are nice because they are not yet enshitified to the point of uselessness.
