> until the content goes stale, anyway

This will be quite interesting in the future. One can usually tell if a blog post is stale, or whether it’s still relevant to the subject it’s presenting. But with LLMs they’ll just aggregate and regurgitate as if it was a timeless fact.



This is already a problem. Content farms have realised that adding "in $current_year" to their headlines helps traffic. It's frustrating when you start reading and realise the content is two years out of date.
