They are both great and also biased. Because LLM training data includes vast libraries of history books, including such works as Dark Alliance, it is capable of running down paths that few historians would walk. I recently used an LLM to find an unimpeachable source for the CIA's connection to cocaine trafficking aircraft. This was not available through a simple Google search because the site was likely deindexed.
