What they saying in this post is that they are designing these LLM-based features to support search.

The post describes how their use-case is finding high quality sources relevant to a query and providing summaries with references/links to the user (not generating long-form "research reports")

FWIW, this aligns with what I've found ChatGPT useful for: a better Google, rather than a robotic writer.

I'm sure Google also says they built "AI mode" to "support search".

Their search is still trash.

Except the AI mode filters out the bad results for you :)
