How about we don't cater the web for the handful of companies hell bent on killing it?

So that's why. You drank the kool aid.

You can tell that OP is a big AI believer by the final sentence. That's gotta be one of the most ChatGPT lines I've ever read.

The current way agents interact with the web is a problem.My view isnt that we should "cater" to them but that we should define the terms of engagement before they define it for us. Right now they re using scraping. That gives site owners zero control. Aura is an attempt to hand control back to the site owner by providing a clear aura.json manifest. It s about consent. As for using AI to build it, I believe you have to deeply understand a technology to help steer it.
