I haven’t tried LLMs myself, but even completely made up garbage would be better than today’s search engine results.
You either get advertisements for things that have nothing to do with what you’re trying to find or you get privacy preserving links to sites that have nothing to do with what you’re trying to find.
Same reason people get their WiFi from their ISP Modem+Router combo, even though it’s stupid to do so: People often confuse initial convenience for good.
But also this hides all the complexity : people just have to know “yes you will be able to connect to wifi” without understanding where different network protocols are encapsulated.
Why the hell do I need this in a web browser? Why isn’t it a stand alone app?
If you think of LLMs as a thing to replace search bars then this kind of makes sense.
Just more unnecessary browser bloat.
Like search bars.
The more search bars the faster your internet becomes!
This is true. I asked my LLM.
I don’t.

There are plenty of stand-alone LLM apps.

Although I think your analogy still stands
Put my tinfoil hat on… So they can track everything you put into the LLMs
