The fact that it lies is so irritating, if it at least admitted that it didn't know the answer it would at least be a useful search engine. The fact that it makes stuff up though means I always have to scroll past the AI summary, that I didn't ask for, in order to actually go to the website to check the results myself, because I can't trust it.

thats completely false when you only ask the llm a very basic question like "what color is the sun?" you need to talk to the model like its smarter than a google search engine. "what color is the sun? pull the data from scientific articles and other sites that study the sun"

if you google the first question, you will have list of different pages, where if you use AI to search on your query, it will model an answer from thoese sources, with said sources linked, similar to a Wikipedia page.

when it can do something that is not just automating a simple task, but it’s capable of doing things that humans are no

No, credit when credit's due, LLMs have arrived (by themselves) or helped to arrive at some mathematical conclusions, didn't they?

A few of Erdős, some others.

Yes, it's, a very small subset (duh), out of god knows how many they tried, and achieving the solution is made via technique called "infinite monkeys typing out Hamlet", but credit when credit's due (unlike LLMs that don't properly attribute parts of the proofs).

It saves immeasurable time. Your time may not be valuable, but mine is.
