No self-respecting baguette would destroy its delicious crust with all that bending.

I vote 6. Seems the most French.

I suspect they will, but the situation is different now.

With search engines, the user would still go to your website and you would get money for adverts. With LLMs, that's not true. By filtering webpages through LLMs, there is no motivation to host adverts and tracking stuff, because you don't get enough human trafick for companies to pay for it.

Also, unlike search engines of old, current chatbots are already subscription based. So there is slightly less motivation.

It's nice to learn a new english phrase now and then, but I am dissapointed it has nothing to do with Claude Shannon. Also, I found it rude.

I personaly see search to chatbot switch just a changing of the guard, and mostly for the better.

It works, and it works well.

Also cnsider that it might finally kill advertisement funded internet. That would be great.

@futurebird I don't think this is true. Chatbot can search web first, put the stuff in its context window (i.e. read it) and generate answer based on that. There is no reason to do it the other way round.

It's closer to RAG than generation from memmory. Both Chatgpt and Claude, afaik, can do this.

LLM can still misinterpret what it read it or make up nonexistent sources, but I think it's designed better than as you describe it.
