Somewhat following this up: I think not using LLMs is going to be fairly similar to “not using google.” Google results are not automatically true – you have to use your judgment. But, like, it’s kinda silly to not use it as part of your search process.
I do recommend perplexity.ai for people who want an easier time checking up on where the AI got some info (it does a search first and provides citations, while packaging the results in a clearer overall explanation than google)
I in fact don’t use Google very much these days, and don’t particularly recommend that anyone else do so, either.
(If by “google” you meant “search engines in general”, then that’s a bit different, of course. But then, the analogy here would be to something like “carefully select which LLM products you use, try to minimize their use, avoid the popular ones, and otherwise take all possible steps to ensure that LLMs affect what you see and do as little as possible”.)
