Again, because publishing to an online-only journal is not the same as publishing a paper encyclopedia. The former has far, far less resources required and processes required in order to publish it. The journals shut down were not particularly well-regarded ones and they were known as paper mills prior to them using AI. The Dummies series is hardly a paragon of excellence either. As I said, I wouldn't be surprised if these companies start using LLMs in the near future, but as I said in another comment, I think the average tech person vastly overestimates how much the average person keeps up-to-date on the latest LLM developments. They also tend to overhype how much society will be transformed by tech, largely because getting VC dollars depends on that hype. These things are still in their infancy and I'd expect them to be used soon, but the people running encyclopedias are not so up-to-date on the latest LLM developments to have already incorporated them into publications planned years ago.
