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

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. 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. The only annoyance is web browsers like chrome do not render the markdown. So could the AI revolution actually fix the web for humans as a side effect? Do you find yourself doing the same?
