If (1) is true, there is no use for the web at all really.

The only value of an LLM generating a realistic HTML page as an answer is to make it appear as though the answer was found on a preexisting page, lending the answer some level of validity.

If users really are fine with the LLM just generating the answer on the fly, doing so in HTML is completely unnecessary. Just give the user answers in text form.

True. Most users just want their problem solved — they don’t care how it’s solved.
