Hence if one had a good search engine they'd find that info eventually ... no wonder some people ask if wikipedia is relevant given a good llm would more likely pull up the same ... if not more nuanced information.

Personally I'll note that's a rule that didn't exist when wikipedia started out ... and unfortunately for some, answering a request to help fill out wikipedia, spent tens or hundreds of hours collecting and writing up about various things - which was wholly unfortunate if at some later point it was discovered ... either only documented internally within some organisations or via industry knowledge.
