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.

    With LLMs, all that traffic is 100% gone.

    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.

    There is a reason why RAG and fine-tuning are big topics in the field. General foundation models are good for general low risk info, but if people really care its generally not enough.
