LLMs are milking us of knowledge and skills, repackage them and give it back to us. Models interact with the internet, humans and code execution. They are exploring. Lots of exploring now happens in the chat room, a place where ideas are first tried out. With billions of users, the volume of information LLMs collect from us is huge. We bring references, guidance and feedback right into its mouth, the LLM doesn't even need to do anything like crawling.

Imagine how many things we know, things we accumulated in our life experience, that were never written down anywhere. That information was lost to others. But now we use LLM assistants, so they get to be in the loop and collect tidbits of human life experience that is not written on the internet. And soon they will also work on audio/video and travel with us everywhere, seeing what we show them.
