Because that’s the authors actual goal? To take a web page that looks fine to human eyes but is unintuitively not accessible to AI. That’s genuinely useful and valuable.

Sure it’s no different than converting it to markdown for human eyes. But it’s important to be clear about not just WHAT but also WHY.

C’mon now. This isn’t controversial or even bad.

Makes one wonder what apple’s actual goal is

I mean.... it could have broader appeal without artificially restricting its audience

Not everything is for everyone. Y'all are criticising this project's bean soup because you don't like beans.

If you think it has less appeal because it was built for and advertised for AI that’s a you problem.
