AI in general could "see" a website like we see it. But LLMs specialise in text. They will find it much easier to figure out the correct semantic interpretation of tag soup than deriving the same information from the rendered output like we do. Also, the big question is cost. I think semi structured text will forever be far cheaper for an AI to process than a completely unstructured data stream representing visual information.
