We don't have anything close to the totality of human knowledge digitized, much less in a form that LLMs can easily take advantage of. Even for easily verifiable facts powering modern industry, details like appropriate lube/speeds/etc for machining molybdenum for this or that purpose just don't exist outside of the minds of the few people who actually do it. Moreover, _most_ knowledge is similarly locked up inside a few people rather than being written down.
Even when written down, without the ability to interact with and probe the world like you did growing up it's not possible to meaningfully tell the difference between 9/11 hoaxers and everyone else save for how frequent the relative texts appear. They don't have the ability to meaningfully challenge their world model, and that makes the current breadth of written content even less useful than it might otherwise appear.
