Not nearly as quickly or directly, though. LLMs augmented by search engines (or vice versa) seem to be an obvious and permanent innovation, especially for the general public who are notoriously awful at personally generating optimal keywords for a desired search query.

I'm not convinced. On these few occasions where an AI chat bot went out, did a Google search and responded with results the quality of that answer was always much worse than if it just replied from it's training data. This of course excludes things that happened after training data ends.

For example, ask chatgpt about writing a python script that does anything with AWS inspector 2. It will do very badly, it will hallucinate, etc. Even with Internet access. Ask about doing the same with some other API that was well represented in the training set and it's great.

This is why I think predicting death for sites like stackoverflow is very premature. What happens 10 years down the line once everything chatgpt knows is old tech? It can't be simply trained with more recrnt data, because unless stackoverflow regains it's popularity there will be very little training data. Of course various data generation techniques will be invented and tried, but no one will match the gold standard of human generated data.

Unfortunately I have to predict inevitable enshittification of general purpose chat bots.
