I use various LLMs for all kinds of search queries. Sure, there is a danger of hallucinations, but for most queries I can tell whether is wrong because now I can make a much clearer Google or Kagi search because I better know how to formulate my search.

Also, more than once have I done a Google or Kagi search where most answers I found also are or were wrong.

I really don’t get the kind of people that hate on LLMs because of “hallucinations” (or worse, ideological hate, easily identified by their use of the “stochastic parrot” term). I find them genuinely useful in delivering better search results quicker. I also don’t have to wade through wades of SEO optimized shit.

Just today I wanted to know the Croatian word for “Orange” and a quick GPT “orange in Croatian” delivered faster and more concise than google
