Chatbot vs. search engine to find information

I have to say i’m quite solidified into search engines for now and honestly i don’t even use LLM / AI tools in general. Not because i consider these not good enough but because i just don’t find enough reason to make the switch.

I do track AI news and they do sound interesting and exciting to learn them but with the life i live, i just don’t see that much value in using them (at least for now). I guess i do sometimes use Brave browser and read on occasional results from it’s website summaries, although that sounds a bit like a hybrid search in my eyes.

Coming back to searching information, i mostly watch YT videos from my subscriptions and have the homepage videos completely blocked and disabled. When i use search engines, it’s quite easy for me to spot a bad quality results or i default to sites i already have trust in, like for example Healthline for many diet or health related info.

So yeah, in short, what i’m using right now serves me well but if i will have enough reasons in future to try Chatbots. etc. more, i likely will.
