Talk of the “death of the website” misses the point. What’s dying are bad, impersonal, ad-soaked sites that prioritise clicks over value. Meanwhile, AI-led experiences are booming - ChatGPT, Midjourney and most AI services live on the open web.
The AI user experience era is the next phase in the web’s
evolution. Publishers and media brands can compete on experience and data quality, not just volume. Embrace AI as you embraced mobile and the cloud.
Your advantage as original creators is clear: you can serve steak, not the “hamburgers” produced when others mash up your content. Own the format, the context, and the conversation.
There are two sides to AI UX: firstly, enhanced content creation and production and, secondly, new, intelligent interfaces for consuming that content.
The shift we’re entering is as significant as the move from non-responsive sites to mobile-optimised, cloud-hosted ones. Sites that rely on clickbait, ad overload and SEO games will fade. What wins now: trust, usefulness, and a sense that “this site understands me”.
