They’re two different tools with different purposes, so why treat one like it can replace the other?

    Because it’s useful. Have you tried? But the LLM has to be able to use conventional search engines as well. I tell my LLM agent to prioritize certain kinds of websites and present a compressed answer with references. Usually works way better than a standard Google search (which only produce AI generated junk results anyway).

    You can get very good answers or search results by utilizing RAG.

      Can you please share a simple prompt? I’ve heard of RAG, but was unaware how you could use it in this case. Is this something you can only do with a local LLM? Or can you plug this into GitHub copilot or the like?
