  IMO LLMs are ok to get a head start of searching. Like got a vague idea of something but don’t know the exact keywords. LLMs can help and use the output on whatever search engine you like. This saves a lots of time tinkering the right keywords.

    Sure, or you could send an email to the leading international institution on the matter to get a very accurate answer!

    Is it the most reasonable course of action? No. Is it more reasonable than waste a gazillion Watt so you can maybe get some better keywords to then paste in a search engine? Yes.

      Once the model is trained, the electricity that it uses is trivial. LLMs can run on a local GPU. So you’re completely wrong.
