We google something specifically because the humans within reach don't know. The goal of searching is, well, to search pages - we're trying to find a site when we use google search.

The goal when using an LLM is generally different; we want an answer, not a site.

LLMs are not a site. They are a clever person that can point you to sites. They, like humans, are fallible.
