Wojciakowski took the critiques on board. “Wow, tough crowd … I’ve learned today that you are sensitive to ensuring human readability.”

Oh get fucked. This was exactly my fear, as AI use ramps up, the web will quickly be designed to cater to AIs over real humans.

Get double fucked, mattwojo of Microsoft. Take that stupid handlebar mustache and shove it up your ass.
