"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Depends. Pure LLM, sure, you are right. LLMs are a terrible way to "store" information.
Coupling LLMs with a decent data source on the other hand isn't such a terrible idea. E.g. answer the question with a google search summarized by LLM can work.
The bigger issue here is (a) when it doesn't seach but does everything locally and (b) that now the site owners lose traffic without compensation.
or (c) if scammers can manipulate which phone numbers get displayed in the summary
