It is a debate for the main visitors the Internet services serve.
A few decades ago, people visit each other using IP protocol, it is people themselves that collect news, read information, and publish new data.
After that, browsers visit each site using HTTP protocol, it is browsers that collect data, translate pages, and interact with user.
Nowadays, it is highly possible that, AI, WILL, involves into our daily life, and the above rewrites by, AIs request each <what> using <new> protocol, it is AIs that <do a lot thing>, and interact with user.
Information never get unavailable, but main method for retrieving info does change. We could of course manipulate command-line utilities instead of browsers when browser became popular, we could of course continue to search and click everywhere on browser instead of AI-enhanced searching when AI got hot today. However it is a trend that AI will bring us to a new evolution in fast-pace information era.
Users are whom sit behind the screen, they never changes, but their methods/agents/proxies change over time.
Exactly how I picture things. AI is the next step after good search engines. We dreamed about the semantic web but never really delivered on this. AI is the semantic search we were longing for; Still a bit fuzzy, but already very useful.
This will be the best we‘ll get.
Next step is enforced bias.

All Western languages come enforced (or defanged doyv) with agentic status, control perhaps manipulation. This is the West. The sender is always staking claim to the opening lines right to status. And now add the conduit metaphor problem/paradox that infects every word in training.
Overlord indeed, but not interesting. The West isn't interesting, or interested, it is biased to claim status from the get-go.
