> Search. If I have a question about a complex environment, say “how do I make a button transparent in CSS” I will get a far better answer asking any consumer-based LLM, than I do using an old fashioned web search engine.

I don't think this is about LLMs getting better, but search becoming worse. In no small thanks to LLMs polluting the results. Do search images for terms and count how many are AI generated.

I can say I got better result from Google X years ago vs Google of today.
