It is trying as hard as it can to express the totality of visual presentation and layout design and typography and animation and digital interactivity and a few other things in a human-readable text format.

Today’s AI can make you better at doing things you do well. That is what AI is for.
A simple sentence to cut through the noise.
we will discover that even if your job mostly consists of interacting with LLMs, doing so well will require people who remember what it was like to read and interpret a document or contrast two ideas without asking an LLM to do it for you.
There used to be a lot of people that used to be able to thatch roofs - and now there aren’t. But that isn’t quite the same IMHO.
