On removing knowledge from the public eye: Is it really removed if it is easier to get, and at a higher quality than a lot of SEO spam search results? On a primitive level I'm not sure it's much different than when computers & calculators replaced printed mathematical tables, such ones used that were used in artillery firing. That said, there are other consideration of accessibility separate from the broader topic LLM's in general. Specifically, that LLM's truly suited as better alternatives to traditional content might end up gate-keeped by corporations charging high prices, an especially likely scenario if lawsuits regarding copyright rule in favor strict copyright protection of the work as not eligible for a fair use exemption. And/or if regulatory capture puts the barrier of entry into LLM's creation too high. Contrary as it might seem, losing the copyright battle might be a net benefit to Open AI and large competitors: It will be very difficult for more open alternatives to get the resources required to build open models. I don't think use of LLM's, in themselves, constitutes a risk to public knowledge, in so far as they remain just as or more accessible than traditional content. That is the case right now, for some use cases, where I can get a much faster answer and immediately critique or get follow up responses to clarify things.
