I have a growing tin foil hat theory that the business model of LLM's is the same as 1-900-psychic numbers of old.
For just 25¢ 1-900-psychic will solve all your problems in just 5 minutes! Still need help?! No problem! We'll work with you until you get your answers for only 10¢ a minute until your happy!
then it would just be like real estate with off market listings where companies have a black market hiring pool and then just do the legal loophole steps of registering before "officially" posting and immediately hiring their desired candidate... which would probably have the shady side effect of making the policy "look efficient" without actually solving the job search problem.

Maybe not the same, but it is a fundamental user experience principle.
"Showing users things they can recognize improves usability over needing to recall items from scratch because the extra context helps users retrieve information from memory."
