nope they haven't been able to, the responses are slower, worse quality, incorrect, outdated and gives me a long-winded answer instead of giving me a short and direct answer

Exactly what I'm saying: For simple stuff, google is still superior. But for complex stuff (i.e., code snippets in PHP). ChatGPT is way better.
Perplexity quotes it's responses, ChatGPT now does so too in many cases – if they're wrong, so is a google search since the source quality is bad.
There's outdated data by design, a point that i missed, i agree. I hope the automatic fallback to bing search is getting better (faster).

I assume you haven't tried to use these LLMs to their full potential then?
