It worked yesterday trying to find a video by describing the video and what I remembered from the video. That was great. I want that for my own photoa and videos without having to upload them somewhere.
Comment on The people like AI because they treat it like a search engine.

LLM can be used as a search engine for things you know absolutely zero terminology about. That’s convenient. You can’t ask Google for “tiny striped barrels with wires” and expect to get the explanation of resistors marking.

It sounds like you might be referring to miniature striped barrels used in crafts or model-making, often decorated or with wire elements for embellishment or functionality. These barrels can be used in various DIY projects, including model railroads, dioramas, or even as decorative items.

Reverse image search would find that answer more accurately than some llm

How? And don’t those image searches have LLMs under the hood?

When you see something you have no idea what it is, you just take a photo and do the reverse search, finding other similar photos and the name of the thing. You don’t even need to spend time describing what you see and won’t have a chance of getting a wrong confident answer. Reverse image search exists for more than a decade and don’t use llms

ML is ML. No matter if it is LLM or not. And the question “What is this thing?” covers a negligibly tiny percent of search requests.

10-15 years ago Google returned the correct answers when I used the wrong words. For example, it would have most likely returned resistors for that query because of the stripes, and if you left off stripes it would have been capacitors.
AI isn’t nearly as good as Google was 10+ years ago.

There’s the theory it’s by design. They have made search so bad so that we now turn to Ai to give us what search can, and by that they can effectively charge you for searching…which generally we would baloney the idea of paying to search.

it also drives more revenue to Google as they have less bounce rate off their search page. they get more monetization off their own sponsored results.
hurts sites that are providing information as now less people click through from search. less human traffic and increased bot traffic, which of course Google won’t pay for as it filters bots out on its ad network.
