I find LLMs more useful. At the least it can steer searches in the right direction, rather than combatting a results page full of ads and SEO bloat.
For many things, the first page of a Google search is full of uninformative or misleading clickbait. Rarely will you get the actual information you’re seeking. It’s an awful search engine.
Some of it is not googles fault. Some of it is the fact that seo pays, so shitty clickbait articles that serve ads or affiliate links make money, so they gameified search results that were less useful. Originally, most useful information was provided by hobbyists with no commercial intentions. That became less and less of the internet over time.
It’s why reddit did so well. It was actual recommendations from actual humans for problems, products etc. So then the bots and scammers came for it’s like they came for google.
The marketing team at Google wants a worse search product, which requires users to make more searches to get to where they wanted, in the process seeing more ads.
Google search has gone downhill because it’s a monopoly focused on extracting maximum value from you, instead of trying to give you maximum value.
