I wonder about the UX created by AI when we start delegating browsing to AI. The major search engines already are looking to lean on AI and we complain about ads enough that it's clear we see browsing as a chore. It's only a matter of time before the web is written in a new bytecode that is meant for AI only. Turtles all the way down...

I think this is what the "Digital Assistant" will become. At the moment we craft some kind of prompt then scour the results which are largely book-like representations of information. Per your suggestion, it would be logical that alongside our usual text-driven sites we have digital information repositories for AIs to query information rather than trying to glean it from the text-driven webpage. Google Knowledge and Siri Knowledge are both implementations of this idea, but I assume it will grow to something that is more general purpose, so any AI could access it. Then extend that to all manner of services, such as bookings, tickets, shopping, etc. That's where the real turtles are.
