What I haven't figured out is this...

If we're all going to LLMs instead of asking each other for help (or providing help to others), then how do the models learn new things? Aren't we no longer generating the same volume of consumable data?

I suppose we can provide feedback to the models to tell them if their solution worked, but I can't tell if that sort of feedback is more useful than just crawling forums.
