FWIW, I wrote 2019 as a representation of "last year before AI mattered" and not when people cared about the early web. Also by 1999 Mosaic had been forgotten and everyone was running Netscape and IE4. :)

To wit: complaining about AI software quality right now is isomorphic to whining about how much the early web sucked. It did suck. But it was still the future.
