"A traditional Google search is still best for the simple act of looking for things to do nearby, but AI Mode could prove to be a nifty tool for more tedious tasks like product research for online shopping — an instant chart comparing baby car seats is helpful, even if imperfect. Just always check the answers."

Exactly my experience. I don't understand people who go to chatgpt first.

You don't use search? Like you don't use duckduckgo or anything?

I dont use google's search.

I am unfortunate enough to have to take part to some extent in its environment but where practical and possible I refuse.

Except that traditional Google search is often filled with AI-generated sites without any value. I use DDG and if that fails it's simple to use their 'bangs' to try other engines.

Yup, LLMs are a backup if traditional search fails. A well researched blog post is way better than whatever the LLM cobbles together, though the LLM is often better than nothing.
