I'm quite good in understanding the difference.
But LLM can already do things Google can't.
LLM is not just a search engine.
It's an explainer, rubber duck etc.
Instead of 'google define x' I just say ' explain x' in my dialog with the machine.
And it will only become better and better.
1. Cost: it's much easier to build and serve a traditional search index for questions/answers at scale
2. Speed
3. Quality: with search engines you don't just get one answer (you get a spectrum of answers). You have access to the "source" of those answers, which often include additional data that can help you choose the most appropriate solution to a problem.
In this specific case, the "horse" is the LLM - and the "car" is the traditional search engine with modern indexing technologies. But please, don't let simple textbook facts about technology take you off your trip.
