I've also been reading some philosophy books recently and found a few thinkers particularly inspiring.
Socrates believed the meaning of life is to know yourself.
Kant saw it in moral self-discipline and rational dignity.
Nietzsche argued that humans should create their own meaning.
And Camus thought the world is meaningless, yet we should give life value through lucid rebellion.
I’ve been thinking about similar questions myself:
1、If code generation eventually works without human intervention, and every Google search could theoretically produce a real-time, custom-generated page, does that mean we no longer need people to build websites at all? At that point, “web development” becomes more like intent-shaping rather than coding.
2、I’m also not convinced that chat is the ideal interface for users. Natural language feels flexible, but it can also be slow, ambiguous, and cognitively heavier than clicking a button. Maybe LLM-driven systems will need new UI models that blend conversation with more structured interaction, instead of assuming chat = the future.
Curious how others here think about those two points.
If (1) is true, there is no use for the web at all really.
The only value of an LLM generating a realistic HTML page as an answer is to make it appear as though the answer was found on a preexisting page, lending the answer some level of validity.
If users really are fine with the LLM just generating the answer on the fly, doing so in HTML is completely unnecessary. Just give the user answers in text form.
