This seems really short-sighted. Why would I go to How Stuff Works when I can just ask the LLM myself?
Maybe there's just no possible business model for them anymore with the advent of LLMs, but at least if they focused on the "actually written by humans!" angle there'd be some hook to draw people in.
LLM cannot create new concepts, it can only create a mishmash of things it has been fed on.
Isn't that exactly how howstuffworks operates though?
You are what you eat. So kind of?
