It's easy to forget most people have no significant online presence, if any, if you spend too much time with very online people.

  That's true. That said, what can be found online does cover a lot of what offline people do and think and write, since there is a lot of stuff being brought online that wasn't produced online (books, news, ...) Otoh, it's not clear how (or if) LLM training balances the different sources

  It’s also important to remember that most of what is online is there to sell ads and does not represent reality in the same quantity. I think people are really trying too hard to find deep meaning everywhere, they might want to read more about social sciences instead.

  Even someone who has an online presence, I’ll use myself as an example, is so much more than the online presence represents.
