Chatting with Claude about a topic is in another universe to google search.
I default to Claude for almost everything where I want to know something. I don’t trust Google’s results because of how weighted they are to SEO. Being good at SEO is a separate skill set.
The answers are not low confidence, cite sources, and can do things that Google cannot. For example: I used Claude to design a syllabus to learn about a technical domain along with quizzes and test suites for verification. It linked to video series, books, and articles grouped by an increasingly complex knowledge set.
You are putting too much hope on a glorified parrot.
Mouthers of this feeble trope are more parrot-like than any LLM. Let's see a parrot do what the person you're replying to has just described.
Parrot? Sure, but a parrot operating in a high dimensional manifold. This breaks naive human assumptions.
