I thought that for a little bit, paid for it for several months, but it's not enough better imo - and the hallucination rabbit holes burn harder than the productive chats make up for.
But something like it probably, it just might be harder to say oh yeah LLMs did that it wasn't over hyped after all. Augmented search, or just improvements to search with a more familiar presentation. Summarise the small amount of information from blogspam and collapse them all, turn a NL question into a few different salient keyword searches, that sort of thing. I haven't tried Kagi's AI yet (I've only used it at all for a few searches while DDG was down recently) but maybe they're doing something interesting or worth watching at least.
Agreed that chatbots will change things. Hard disagree that it's on the scale of the internet. The internet at large touches way more than the habits of white collar workers
The information resources already exist, if people can't be bothered to access them the old-fashioned way that guarantees accuracy then they're not fit for purpose in their role, and should be fired on the spot.
Also heard about accountants doing maths in ChatGPT—it ain't Wolfram Alpha lol.
not to mention rare diseases that are most of the time overlooked by many doctors before one guy finds it, or the sick guy himself by going on internet
But at the same time it is going to drastically change the way people work. In a very close future every single programmer is going to have chatgpt open. Every single marketer, researcher, lawyer, doctor etc...
It's a revolution the same scale of internet itself. Everybody was on google everyday at some point, everybody will be on an AI at some point (if not most of the time they interact with a device)
