It's amusing how scale changes the landscape. A human reads something for free or "free" (if they're a product for advertisers or data collectors). And no one bats an eye if they retell it to others. There are careers of this - teachers, instructors, advisors. But if it's a a machine (or a superhuman - I want to hope hope we'll see AGI someday) that can do this at scale, the whole world is suddenly upside-down. I honestly have no idea how things should be (I have opinions, but I cannot really validate them, so they're just... opinions), but I find it interesting. Being a pessimist and strong believer than humanity as a whole leans towards shittiest-but-cheapest solutions (down to a certain threshold, of course, but the plank is rarely high) my guess is that those websites will eventually try to monetize LLMs the way they do this with humans - by injecting ads in the information provided. Fear the day new breed of SEOs will start spamming, inventing fancier and fancier techniques of - ahem - enriching the models with customer-oriented targeted promotional materials (or whatever). And so the history will repeat itself.
