First picture is Jisho, which takes its definition from the JMdict, which is free-to-contribute, open-source and the most used J-E dictionary.
Second picture is the Daijirin(大辞林) fourth edition from 2019, it's one of the most comprehensive and detailed J-J dictionaries.

They're brainlets and don't actually know Japanese.
