Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’

they’re a great use in surfacing information that is discussed and available, but might be buried with no SEO behind it to surface it

This is what I’ve seen many people claim. But it is a weak compliment for AI, and more of a criticism of the current web search engines. Why is that information unavailable to search engines, but is available to LLMs? If someone has put in the work to find and feed the quality content to LLMs, why couldn’t that same effort have been invested in Google Search?

I’d rather a world where 10 companies can compete with google search on AIs, than where they dump money into a monopoly.

  If you don’t feel like discussing this and won’t do anything more than deliberately miss the point, you don’t have to reply to me at all.

    The content is not unavailable to search engines. AI LLMs simply are better at surfacing it.

    Ok, but how exactly? Is there some magical emergent property of LLMs that guides them to filter out the garbage from the quality content?
