My school had a class in the early 2000's on how to use a search engine. It certainly wasn't just about Google, at the time.
Are you telling me you never had that painful experience watching someone else use a computer to perform a search and struggle to find basic things? It's possible to be "bad" at it.
You misunderstood me.
The enshitification I was referring to is the increasingly bad, non LLM search results Google is returning.
I've said this elsewhere but a good 90% of my searches don't involve LLM results whatsoever.
Normies also don't seem to know what should stay a "standard" search (most searches, IMO) and what might be useful to utilize an LLM for.
I think your response is a bit aggressive TBH.
I've got nothing against people not using LLM search if they don't find value in it.
That just doesn't describe me or my experience with it.
To be clear, the vast majority of my searches don't involve LLM results at all. But I'm glad to have it on the edge cases where I find it useful.
Obviously Biden's fault for not waiving his wand and enforcing this personally /s
People who struggle to find basic things via web searches. That is, before the somewhat recent ratcheted up enshitification.
Generally, people who don't know how to work with the systems. As it relates to newer LLM search tools, not knowing how to prompt it correctly to get the desired output, knowing the limitations of LLMs to prevent you from doing something stupid, and knowing to check the sources that most of these LLMs provide before fully trusting the info it provides.
Remember when normies couldn’t even find what they wanted via normal web searches?
This seems like that.
I've used it for code, most often.
I've saved many hours of work with it, in languages I don't really even know.
