Who makes money when everyone just uses a search engine for answers?
Is this post sponsored by Google or what?
It used to be you'd search for something, click on the results and load the ads on the page with the info.
Then google started adding their snippets with direct answers, and yes, there has been an uproar from content sites about that. But some fraction of people still click through for more context.

Eh, I might ask the LLM about something, but I always open it sources to verify it summaries. You still can't trust them fully.
That's just kicking the can down the road. They'll be exactly as trustworthy as your own brain at summarizing articles soon. What then?
I still want to know the source of what I'm being told. There are plenty of brains out there smarter than mine, I'll still ask for sources.
