LLMs Powered Search Engines Won't Last Long

🧵 The TL;DR

Google and Bing are increasingly powered by LLMs to answer questions, but it is unlikely that they will succeed as LLMs have nothing to do with the traditional search engine use cases. Instead, LLMs should be used as productivity and creativity tools.

    🔑 Key Points

  • Google and Bing increasingly use LLMs for search engine purposes
  • However, LLMs are unlikely to be as successful as other search engines such as Ask Jeeves or Wolfram Alpha
  • Most people use search engines like phone books, so LLMs have no place in them
