How normal people are using LLM's (sh.itjust.works)

Just heard this today - co worker used an LLM to find him some shoes that fit. Basically prompted it to find specific shoes that fit wider/narrower feet and it just scraped reviews and told him what to get. I guess it worked perfectly for him.

I hate this sort of thing - however this is why normies love LLM's. It's going to be the new way every single person uses the internet. Hell, on a new win 11 install the first thing that comes up is copilot saying "hey use me i'm better than google!!"

Frustrating.

Search engines have cratered.

There's a need to skim through all the crap to find what's valuable, and AI offers to do that.

I have used it to learn things, specifically how to use Angular. Angular has enough versions, all still used somewhere, that genuinely valid and helpful advice from a few years ago is misleading. AI didn't so much take the place of a tutorial, it took my whole code and reviewed it, telling me what was wrong. Then I fact-checked its answers because I don't trust it, and yeah, it wasn't always correct itself, but it was more than 80% of the time, and even when it was wrong, it got me close enough that I could find the right answer where it failed.

Also, it does a great job with CSS right out of the gate, no mistakes yet on that front.

But that's literally already the job of a search engine?
