I kind of prefer traditional search engines over textual LLMs that require the input of coherent sentences for the models to "understand". The older way was like driving stick or riding a "normal" motorcycle, while LLMs are like driving automatic or riding a gasoline-powered motorscooter. đŸ€Ș #LLM #AI

Consider trying Perplexity - my main use-case is to just type in an unfamiliar word and press send. It comes back with a paragraph to explain what the word means, with linked citations to the web pages that the information came from. It has almost replaced Google/Bing on my phone, since "what does that word mean" covers 90% of my phone searches anyway.

I used it last night to learn that the unfamiliar word on a menu was a type of goat cheese that I had not heard of before.
