I think you're giving too much credit to the average user, empirically, we as humans tend to question less and believe more about things that are beyond our understanding, and LLMs are certainly way more of a black box than a search en

The problem is the average worker is more likely to blindly trust an "advanced chatbot"(from a layperson pov) than a random google result. (edit) how many people do you think are aware of LLM hallucinations as opposed to inaccurat

Yeah they're just taking away access from the exact set of people who'll benefit the userbase most(mods, indie devs etc.) and still reserving it for corporations with the money to pay. It's not wrong to expect enterprise pric
