The author draws parallels between Adobe Acrobat's messy interface and the current state of websites, arguing that improving web usability could reduce demand for AI-powered browsing solutions despite their accuracy and ethical concerns.

As a web developer i must say, i absolutely love the idea of the web but i absolutely hate how it is implemented right now.
Many more websites should just be static pages but instead they are some kind of AI generated mess with cookies, paywalls, ads, newsletters and so on…

This is a compelling perspective. While AI can accelerate development, an over-reliance on it as a primary coding tool can inadvertently introduce significant technical debt. AI-generated code often lacks the architectural oversight and optimization required for a clean, performant, and maintainable codebase. Therefore, I see AI’s most valuable role as that of a sophisticated assistant to the developer, who remains essential for pruning ‘garbage code,’ enforcing best practices, and ensuring the final product is both fast and clean.
