Is WebP really better than JPEG?

What has AOMedia to do with this? That alliance is what has made AV1 (and thus AVIF), which is clearly superior to JPEG. AOMedia had nothing to do with WebP (though Google is a member, and WebP is based on VP8, and AV1 is based in part on VP9 which was the successor to VP8).

Is it better? The AVIF examples in the article look even worse than the WebP ones

At 30% reduced size. The true comparison would be at the same file size, which format is able to squeeze more perceivable information into the same bucket?

Indeed. The article's comparisons seem a bit useless - neither the quality or the filesize is kept constant.
