That hasn't been my experience, I use LLMs in place of search. Two examples from tonight that I asked Grok for:

> Can you find the girl who did a bunch of posts critisizing David Graeber's Debt? I thought it was really well done

> I saw a comment on hackernews a while ago about the optimal amount of credit card fraud being higher than zero because of game theory dynamics, can you find it.

In both cases it turned up the exact posts I was looking for in like 30 seconds which would have taken me much longer using traditional search. I've had similar success looking for technical documentation. It's downright magical how they're able to turn my vague idea of what I'm looking for into a pointer to the exact thing.
