Lately I have seen a lot of things coming full circle like this in a way that always seems positive for humans as well.

Many doomers are running around saying the future is grim because everything will be made for AI agents to use rather than humans. But so far everything done to push that agenda has looked more like a big de-enshittification.

Another one is Model Context Protocol, which brings forth the cutting edge (for 1970) idea of using a standard text based interface so that separate programs can interoperate through it.

If the cost of having non-user-hostile software is to let AI bros run around thinking they invented things like stdin and documentation, I'm all for it at this point.

If any AI bros are reading this here's another idea. Web pages that use a mostly static layout and a simple structure would probably be a lot easier for AI to parse. And google, it would be really beneficial to AI agents if their web searches weren't being interfered with by clickjacking sites such as Pinterest.
