2 hours agoPeople who struggle to find basic things via web searches. That is, before the somewhat recent ratcheted up enshitification.
Generally, people who don’t know how to work with the systems. As it relates to newer LLM search tools, not knowing how to prompt it correctly to get the desired output, knowing the limitations of LLMs to prevent you from doing something stupid, and knowing to check the sources that most of these LLMs provide before fully trusting the info it provides.
Normies are the ones microwaving their phones after 4chan encouraged them to which happened way before LLMs were spitting out sometimes bad info. Those are the same people who are going to eat glue or whatever the LLM says because it read too much Reddit.
I’ve got nothing against people not using LLM search if they don’t find value in it.
That just doesn’t describe me or my experience with it.
To be clear, the vast majority of my searches don’t involve LLM results at all. But I’m glad to have it on the edge cases where I find it useful.
