Maybe it's just me but I have no interest in having a computer algorithm interpret data for me. That's a job that I want to do myself .
then you are blissfully unaware of how much data is already being interpreted for you by computer algorithms, and how much you probably actually really like it.
1. Mobile apps: Don't want to see intrusive apps
2. YouTube: Don't want to be interrupted with ads and no I don't want to buy premium service.
Makes me question why Google never bothered to create something like search sessions which could be enriched with comments/notes and would be located in a sidebar just like the chats in ChatGPT/Claude/Mistral are. They really had the potential to do something interesting, but were just focused on their ad metrics with the "good enough" search box. What have they been doing all the time?
the FAANG giants have been government assets for ~15+ years [0]. they don't have to turn a profit every quarter, innovate, or make their search any better because they no longer play by the rules a normal business does. they are a critical "too big to fail" component of the state's global surveillance system.

And, yet, aside from Aramco, they are the most profitable companies in the history of the world.

Wouldn't googles energy per search also be way up with the llm snippet at the top now?

> Will this fundamentally change how people find and access information? How do you create an experience so compelling that it replaces the current paradigm? I think it's already compelling enough to replace the current paradigm. Search is pretty much dead to me. I have to end every search with "reddit" to get remotely useful results. The concern I have with LLMs replacing search is that once it starts being monetize…
What do you mean with "when it starts"? To my mind it's obvious all LLM are heavily biased to a point it's ridiculous, all the more with the confident tone they are trained to take. I have no doubt Chinese LLM will prise the party as much as American ones will sing the gospel of neoliberal capitalism.

Tried "Sailflow Galveston Bay", which for google search returns the Galveston Bay / Kemah wind/weather report for sailing in the area. For GPT Search, returned the Galveston Buoy as the first result, which is WRONG, as it is 10+nm off the coast of Galveston with often VERY different weather than Galveston Bay. The second GPT search result was just the Sailflow home page. So in this case at least, GPT Search is far in…

Perplexity is a really terrible name for a product and that alone will hold it back from being a real competitor.
A good language model is one with low perplexity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perplexity Reasonable name for a language model startup.
Bonus points for then being able to ask for the results in a specific format.
I’m looking forward to seeing how a feature built search engine starts to look.
