Imagine asking someone with cursory knowledge of a subject matter to perform a google search for you. This person would dig through thousands of results and weed-out the junk/SEO/content farm sites, so you'd get information that's more relevant. LLMs could potentially do this quickly, separating the wheat from the chaff. Would it be perfect? No, but it would be a significant improvement over what you see on Google today.
But they won't dig through thousands, they'll use (at least anything I've seen) will use the first 5 or 10 results. It would be prohibitively expensive to use thousands of results. So it's still just using the underlying ranking algo.
