> grift and predation around the ecosystems and common uses
We have had web search for 25 years, it could surface any content out of billions of web pages. It's faster than LLMs and the content is written by humans. Why mention AI and crypto and not web search, it empowers people to make derivative works or to use information without compensation, isn't that a form of predation?
Add Wikipedia too, it officially discourages any "original research", everything is derived, and most people just read the wiki without ever clicking on the references to the original contents. Wiki takes traffic away from those sources, can we say it is a grifter site?
Alternatively, let's tone down the grifting logic. There is nothing LLMs know that search engines and wiki don't, they just save a determined person a couple of clicks and a bit of reading.
