The Mediated Web

Large Language Models have the potential to hugely shift what it means to interact with a web browser.

. . . I know, right.

What does this mean now, and what does it mean for the future of the web? Let's delve into what a mediated web might look like, and how it could impact the internet ecosystem. Fasten your seatbelts, we could be in for a bumpy ride.
