Welcome back to the late-90s

When web authors don’t care enough to put readers above themselves, websites are a chore.

When websites are a chore, people prefer talking to AI and risk the hallucinations.

When people prefer talking to AI, the websites die anyway, because people don’t need to talk to other people.

When people don’t need to talk to other people, the fabric of the Internet as we used to know it, goes away.

It just becomes a bunch of lonely people, interacting with their terminal, alone, wondering if the Internet could somehow be more than that.

Welcome back to the late-90s.
