LLMs are read only.
A developer would be the one using the LLM to evaluate page response text and scraping what they need.
LLMs cannot “crawl pages” or “scrape” or do anything - it’s an offline archive with a few convenience methods.

Being a bit needlessly pedantic here. I think it's well understood in these circles that such models are being driven by agents, which absolutely can crawl and scrape. The only thing a human needs to do is write rules for the agent to follow.
No, it allows people to dodge accountability.
It’s also not true.
An LLM cannot visit the internet at all.
There is no “agent” - that is a marketing term. It’s software and LLM that’s it.
There is no "software" - that is a marketing term. It's bits and that's it.
