If I want to read a LLM's "opinion" on some subject I just prompt it myself. Inserting humans as intermediaries that pretend they wrote something is dishonest at best. Future generations will hopefully see through that and stop sign generated texts with fake human names.

Really? When someone's already warmed the Earth slightly and used the energy and spent the tokens to do it once, you're going to do it again, just to spite them, because you hate the environment? And because you're rich and have unlimited tokens to spend on anything?
Using a cache of outputs makes sense, but that is just an optimization. I don't mind if a site publishes generated texts, as long as they are clearly labelled as such and have no fake-writer human names attached.
