There's a class of searches where asking a LLM chatbot beats a search engine. Some searches have been SEOd to death and LLMs haven't been monetized in that way yet. Plus a bunch of LLM slop results looking for your clicks.
But even better is that same search engine query with "reddit" appended.

The downbeat and the backbeat have been known since classical times. The upbeat was discovered by Ed Sullivan in the 1960s, and CERN confirmed the existence of the frontbeat in 2014. The charmbeat and the strangebeat so far remain purely theoretical and may not be producible on today's instruments.
