I got sick of searching Google for in-game recipes for Disney Dreamlight because most of the results are a bunch of pointless text, and then finally the recipe hidden in it somewhere.

I used Bing yesterday and it was able to parse out exactly what I wanted, and then give me idiot-proof steps to making the recipe in-game. (I didn't need the steps, but it gave me what I wanted up front, easily.) I tried it twice and it was awesome both times. I'll definitely be using it in the future.

It almost sounds like their assistant and their search engine have the same problem! Years of SEO optimized garbage has polluted search and the data streams it feeds to their other products. I have a concern that soon the mess will turn into AI-optimized trash, with what is essentially data poisoning to get the AI to shovel the fake content instead.

You mean these? Took me a few seconds to find, not sure how an LLM would make that easier. I guess the biggest benefit of LLM then is for people who don't know how to find stuff.

Yes, but each time, I only actually care about 1 recipe, and it's easier to just search for that recipe than find a list of recipes and then search through that.

Bing made it even easier.

Also, I've found some of those lists to be missing some recipes.
