Being blunt here but this is a good example of dogmatic thought.

AI is leaps and bounds better than google at searching.

“You don’t need google for this, we have had public libraries for decades” energy.

Current AI is much, much better than current search engines (which themselves seem worse than they were decades ago, for some reason).

False. Have you even used google in the last 6 years or so? The results are so bad that I stopped using it altogether. It pops up sometimes when I mistype something in a search bar, but that’s it.

And don’t make me laugh about “good online resources”. SO went downhill and is just a graveyard at this point where everything is frozen in time. It has some good discussions (that LLMs ingested), but that’s it.

You can hate LLMs all you want, but they’re godsend for interactive discussion with the material.
