Ask HN: Is the web for machines (/llm.txt) the one we wished we had as humans?

The ask update

I got really tired, as a human, of parsing the standard marketing heavy web we have today. I've always loved the simplicity of gopher and gemini web.

Why it matters

Recently I found myself manually adding `/llm. txt` to most websites I visit because I find the content for LLMs strait to the point and clear.

What sits behind it

The only annoyance is web browsers like chrome do not render the markdown

Our take

txt` to most websites I visit because I find the content for LLMs strait to the point and clear. So could the AI revolution actually fix the web for humans as a side effect.
