Followup question - is LLM tech more or less likely to end up replacing search when those same incentives really saturate the LLM product itself.
One big difference seems to be attribution. LLMs don’t tell you where their info comes from. They just say what is (but can be asked to cite works - with mixed results).
Will LLMs get good at citing sources and if not will people care or will they give in to LLMs as a source of information that’s “good enough because it mostly works”
From a product placement / ads perspective, being able to persuade people to fully accept everything an ad-infused LLM says because it’s good enough seems like an incredibly lucrative product bundling opportunity if they can get it right. Esp. If they can use that to convince regulators they can’t annotate the difference between ads and non ads.
Seems pretty dystopian from a disinformation perspective though.
