Shopping is another classic. I personally don't want to trust an AI agent with checkout. research is fine, but I don't want the AI to go on a shopping spree or Amazon added some subscription into their checkout flow and suddenly, I'm paying for Prime because my AI agent thought it's a good idea or just missed it.
It's not unheard of that Amazon bundles a subscription into your checkout. So I don't think it's too unrealistic.
I think that makes sense. You are less fiddling around and only need CodePen when you are really stuck but AI solves many problems now.
The shift from sharing little HTML/CSS/JS components to a website builder is probably their answer to this problem. They want to position themselves to compete with a Loveable, Replit and others. It's probably not the same, a little more technical, but the direction definitely shifted.

I think your hunch is very much spot on. It doesn’t look trustworthy at all.

To be fair, I don't know Kevin Rose personally, so maybe he knows more than the industry, but I highly doubt it.
Reddit has the same problem. They are fighting it more or less successfully. I would look more in that direction.
for smaller start ups, it's easier to go through one provider (OpenRouter) instead of having the hassle of managing different endpoints and accounts. you might get access to many more users that way.
mid to large companies might want to go directly to the source (you) if they want to really optimize the last mile but even that is debatable for many.

Could be a mix. Firebase also offers Firebase Functions which are callable functions in the cloud. That code is not public.
However, Firestore or Firebase realtime database both require the user to setup security rules. Otherwise all data can be read by anybody.
great job, Scotland!
