This is an incredible idea. There are so many unexplored possibilities when you re-write and re-format the web.

Can you mix procedural and static content? How can you verify accuracy of information? What if you could refine a web page’s content just-in-time? Modifying the query and context etc.

Through a lens of Roam/Notion: what if everything were a block that could be individually linked? what if every block could be edited by anybody? what if anyone could add links and annotations across pages? a blend of web and wiki?

* Can you mix procedural and static content? Just the idea of the wiki is interesting here. Perhaps there could be a wiki that stores content in a static way, that is edited by users putting the best content they find on the procedural web. It would be a valuable place to find good ideas or ideas that we might not have thought of but someone else did. This could also serve as feedback for AI models. Although it is also true that we would not be able to distinguish if non-human opinions start to creep in and end up contaminating the site.

* How can you verify accuracy of information? I think this is one of the main difficulties, as the AI would have to understand contexts and have a notion of truth, I think this would already start to touch the capacity of "consciousness".

* What if you could refine a web page’s content just-in-time? You will be able to do this for every part that you don't like enough and want something better, or just to see something different.
