"Will People Miss the Open Web?
Some will. Most probably will not. That is the brutal part. People did not abandon BBSs because they hated them. They abandoned them because the Web was easier. People did not abandon Flash because they stopped liking animation. They abandoned it because better technologies and devices made it unnecessary. People did not stop using websites because websites were evil. They moved to apps because apps were more convenient. The same will happen with AI.
People will not say, "Today I reject the open Web." They will simply ask the assistant because it is faster. Convenience wins. Convenience replaces nostalgy, all the time. It almost always wins. The Web's biggest enemy is not ideology. It is not regulation (well, a bit yes). It is not even AI itself. It is convenience."
