Information platforms that interact with large language models (LLMs) are built with a fundamental advantage: users can engage with them in natural language through written queries and requests. They can do so not just quickly and iteratively, but creatively as well.

In fact, you probably both create and consume important information constantly, even if you have not thought of information in a producer-consumer way.
