One difference is that skillful googling still only involved typing a few keywords or a short phrase and some syntax, and then knowing how to skim the results and iterate, and how to operate your browser efficiently. With LLMs, you have to type a lot more (and/or use voice input), and often also read more, it’s also not stateless/repeatable like following a web link, and most output looks the same (as opposed to the variations in web sites). I pride(d) myself on my Google foo, it was fun, but I find using LLMs to be quite exhausting in comparison.
