Please no. Absolutely not. LLM is absolutely not "nice for dealing with confusion" but the very opposite.
Please do consider people effort, articles, attributions, and actually learning and organizing your knowledge. Please do train your mind, and self-confidence.

Have you checked out the following issue case:
- FYI, I spun up an instance of 4get since I needed an alternative. It has worked flawlessly with all included search engine sources, including Google.
- Thanks, 4get is also good...
- I was using it for the last couple of days and I didn't get any captcha.

Hosting your own is optional.
SearXNG can be added to your browser’s search bar; moreover, it can be set as the default search engine.

This website shows the SearXNG public instances. It is updated every 24 hours, except the response times which are updated every 3 hours....
Public instances listed here may yield less accurate results as they have much higher traffic and consequently have a higher chance of being blocked by search providers such as Google, Qwant, Bing, Startpage, etc. Hosting your own instance or using an instance that isn't listed here may give you a more consistent search experience.

Wonderful day! Have you checked out metasearch engines like the following?: SearXNG (...is a free internet metasearch engine which aggregates results from various search services and databases. Users are neither tracked nor profiled...)
SearXNG is a fork of the well-known searx metasearch engine which was inspired by the Seeks project. It provides basic privacy by mixing your queries with searches on other platforms without storing search data.

Thank you, but I am sorry, I will not read the output of the LLM. I'll re-recheck the grammar manually.
It's worth to mention that the StackOverflow survey referenced does not include many countries with also great/genius developers, including Belarus, Russia, China, Iran...
There are related cases raised on Meta scopes: Developer Survey 2025 is, apparently, region blocked...
Apparently, while I've being employed in security as software engineer for at least 19 years now, I've never ever considered these trendy LLM/"AI" all serious, and still do not.
Sorry, I have literally no interest in all of it that makes you dependent on it, atrophies mind, degrades research and social skills, and negates self-confidencen with respect to other authors, their work, and attributions. Nor any of my colleagues in military and those I know better in person.
Constant research, general IDEs like JetBrains's, IDA Pro, Sublime Text, VS Code, etc. backed by forums, chats, and Communities, is absolutely enough for the accountable and fun work in our teams, who manage to keep in adequate deadlines.
Nor will use any LLM in my work, art, or research... I prefer people, communication, discoveries, effort, creativity, and human art...
I just disable it everywhere possible, and will do all my life. The close case to my environment was VS Code, and hopefully there's no reason to build it from source since they still leave built-in options to disable it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/79534407/5113030 (How can I disable GitHub Copilot in VS Code?...)
Isn't it just inadequate to not think and develop your mind, and let alone pass control of your environment to a yet another model or "advanced T9" of unknown source of unknown iteration.
In pentesting, random black-box IO, medicine experimental unverified intel, log data approximation why not? But in environment control, education, art or programming, fine art... No, never ^^
Meanwhile... so freaking, incredibly many developers, artists are left without attribution, respect, gratitude...
So many people atrophy their skils for learning, contribution, researching, accumulation, self-organization...
So much human precious time is wasted...
So much gets devalued...
The time will show... and just a few actually accountable will recover only, probably...
This is so heartache... sorrowful...
Thank you...
Apparently, I've never ever considered any LLM serious, convenient, appropriate, similar to Markov's chain, though those differ, and I disable and uninstall absolutely everything that is LLM related, or alters human effortful works, including programming suggestions, searching, and in any kind of adequate research, in the personal life or everywhere possible since 2021 (and some in 2023), where I had a few months of experimenting with those - enough to consider the time I still have to continue actually learning, discovering, and staying social as much as I can...
Please... Please, in context of such education... instead of investing your priceless, precious, finite life time... into such empty void as unknown output of unknown LLM from unknown dataset of unknown artists... developers... people... Please, instead, please consider to take your time... and try to see the love in someone's else works, courses, videos, books, articles, schemes, tables, drawings... who would be only heartfelt delighted to know... to know that someone else like you, like themselves... were reaching out for their experience they were gaining for decades and worked hard to prepare it for someone out there... in search... for someone who wishes and tries to create something, to improve the world... to reach for an achievement... to treasure a goal... to invent a miracle...
Since isn't the following the miraculous purpose to live and contribute to the infinite world? To gain experience by confident, adequate effort, to work towards achievements, to stay responsible as a human, to stay alive... Which is at least: personal contributions published, social interactions, actually felt and considered facts organized by accountable people, self-confidence and miraculous time you invest into learning the human experience published in marvelous works of books, articles, videos, forums, chats - the ineffable magnificence...
There's use for LLM, including pentesting, medicine and analyzing of unknown and random for the sake of random in scopes of "black-box", for example, sure, but overly rarely and the fear of malformed facts, unknown sources, disturbed art... will always shadow any presence of such generative technologies, I believe... Yet, shouldn't technology support you, your mind (i.e. not atrophy it but train and discipline it), your creativity, your ideas, your... existence?
Since isn't learning from someone else experience is actually important...
Isn't it ineffably magnificent to discover someone's hard work...
Isn't the process of learning and discovering actually fun!
Isn't the knowledge that you unique carry valuable...
What is the fun, the purpose, otherwise...?
Please consider your confidence, skills, mind, and... your precious time...

Thank you, but I do disagree. You cannot know the "result" of that LLM does include all the required context, and you won't re-clarify it, since the output does already not contain the relevant, and in the end you miss the knowledge and waste the time, too.
How are you sure the output does include the relevant? Will you ever re-submit the question to an algorithm, without even knowing it is required re-submit it, since there's even no indication for it? I.e. The LLM just did not include what you needed, did not include also important context surrounding it, and did not even tell you the authors to question further - no attribution, no accountability, no sense, sorry.
