Perhaps you underestimate how much average people lack the most basic surface-level knowledge of various subjects, and how much value learning the basics can provide.
Some of these people are just learning about the relationship between temperature and pressure or current and voltage, etc. something well within the bounds of LLMs and its enriching their lives dramatically.
I asked it a question once to clarify a fact from a book I was reading that temporarily baffled my 2am barely awake mind.
“Why is humid air less dense than dry air? Isn’t water heavier than air”
It went on to explain the composition of air, the atomic weights of all the most common air molecules and how the atomic weight of water molecules is lighter than nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2)
And my fallacy was in comparing air to liquid water that people are more familiar with rather than water vapor which is what would be found in humid air.
