This assessment is incomplete. Large languages models are both less and more than these traditional tools. They have not subsumed them and all can sit together in separate tabs of a single browser window. They are another resource, and when the conditions are right, which is often the case in my experience, they are a startlingly effective tool for navigating the information landscape. The criticism of Gemini is a fair one, and I encountered it yesterday, but perhaps with 50% less entitlement. But Gemini also helped me translate obscure termios APIs to python from C source code I provided. The equivalent using search and/or Stack Overflow would have required multiple piecemeal searches without guarantees -- and definitely would have taken much more time.
