I’ve also found LLMs helpful as a compliment to web searching for my work (I deal with lots of public datasets from international organisations); LLM queries have helped me find sources that I missed via directed search.

Do consider that web search had been a computationally simple and more importantly solved problem that has gotten steadily more unsolved over the course of the past 25 years.

There is a lot of truth to that.

Google web search (and by extension services like Ecosia that rely on Google) has worsened in quality, especially for more niche content that requires some work to get to.
