I've done the same for a handful of things I use to default to a search engine for.
My favorite is recipes.
The blog spam around recipes is notoriously bad and is a direct result of Google Search.
Using these LLMs, all I need to do is tell it what I'm looking for in general and it will give me an entire recipe with no extraneous information.
It can handle adding or removing ingredients, substitutions. It can adjust servings. It can flip the recipe to work in a slow cooker or pressure cooker.
I've even had some limited success where I list restrictions based on picky eaters in the house for creating longer meal plans. No search engine can compete with that.
There were apps designed around these use cases. I foresee these sort of nuanced and personalized interactions being a key to drawing people away from search engines.
Absolutely, these sort of things which have varied but somewhat straightforward solutions will excel.
I'm going to give it a go for recipes, because as you say, blog spam is a nightmare. My wife has a lot of cookery books which she likes for her style of cooking, but I'm a little more "ad-hoc".
