Seriously, in my experience AI generated results are only actually correct maybe 10% of the time
Death to CSS and we just render for the AI crawlers?

My sister is a teacher and now has her students repeat back to her, "LLMs are not search engines".

who needs the web?
Generative AI that's who. For it to spit out information, it needs information. The argument may be that it is better at collecting all that information in one place and returning an answer, although we know it hallucinates responses. But to even begin a response it needs data, it needs the web.
