The Agentic Web: Hype or the Future of Browsing?

[chainsniff]

The rise of AI browsers like ChatGPT Atlas raises a key question: What happens to the open web when chatbots do the browsing for us?
TechCrunch’s Anthony Ha argues this shift could make websites less important, as AI agents summarize and act on information directly.
Meanwhile, Max Zeff calls today’s agentic web tools only “slightly more efficient” — not yet compelling enough for average users.
Still, the potential is clear: if AIs start interacting with the web autonomously, search and content discovery may never look the same again.
