Hi,

simple question: is it me or we almost stopped using Google heavily as before because of LLMs?

There are 8 billion people in this world. It's almost certainly never "just me".

I still use DDG. LLMs are useful, but not universally so. There are many more results that contain information than an LLM will quote or link you to.

yandex but even their results are starting to be useless and dumb.

"We" stopped using google because it sucks for finding what we are looking for. Yes LLMs made the spam low effort content flooding the internet even worse.

I stopped using Google well before LLMs, because Google became almost worthless to me. But I still use a search engine heavily. LLMs haven't been able to even come close to replacing one for me, and I do find it surprising that they have for others.
