Isn't paraphrasing/summarizing the top result a pretty good use case for LLMs? If I search "what temperature should I bake cupcakes at?" I really just want a simple answer, not dozens of links to life story style recipe blogs.

DDG didn't provide a summary, but Google did (and it was very long). I assumed the answer was 350F, but the summary suggested 325-375. Lower for flatter cupcakes, higher for more domed. Interesting.

This type of summary wouldn't be nearly as helpful for a technical programming question, but I doubt that describes the bulk of search queries.

I wasn't arguing about it's accuracy, I was attacking it's need to exist. fuck AI, I'm tired of hearing that acronym. can't wait for this shit to go away like every tech fad in the last decade
