Completely agree. Search engines are dead to me.

For general information like recipes, tech stuff, how-to's, etc LLMs blow search engine results out of the water. Even the local/contextual content is better. The new maps feature in ChatGPT is amazing.

The only case where a search engine beats an LLM for me is when I'm looking for a site where the site itself provides a bespoke experience like shopping, where the engine provides a quicker path to the url I don't yet have in my browser history, like "<Some band> Tour" -> somebandofficial.com
