I use an LLM for 80% of my queries now. Fighting Google isn't worthwhile, unless I need a trusted source.

How do you know when your LLM is bullshitting you
You don't, but at least you have one answer you need to verify vs 100 listings of random garbage to wade through.
How do you know when a Google result is bullshitting you, or if their pre-LLM AI summaries of results were bullshitting you?
The top 5 results (at least in the travel category) are written by copywriters across the ocean. It feels like a machine-generated average of the internet is not so bad.
What do you use?
I use the Azure GPT-4 offering. It's not always 100% correct, but for technical questions in areas I'm not very familiar with, it's close enough. I can get much more done in a given amount of time than I would have been able to reading docs and SO.
I know lots of people will point to examples where it's wrong, but I'd suggest trying it out yourself. If you're not intentionally trying to trip it up, it really works quite well.
