To remove it from the spec you would need to get enought votes in the FIDO alliance workgroups and board and whatnot. That's just politics.

Correct code is not cheap. And some places you need a very correct code. Like in mission critical systems.

For the normie guy who used google search just to get to facebook, ELIZA is much cheaper to run than a fully fledged GPT. It's just sensible business wise. Trash the brain of the already poorly educated user to use cheaper AI on him.

The HTTP protocol and HTML fromat that Tim Berners Lee created, were meant for sharing documentation and information which foster collaboration via internet. It wasn't really meant for doing business in trusted environments.
The WWW acronym should stand for Worldwide Wild West.

The Personal Computer culture in the SV developed from the counterculture in the valley: https://kbsm.org/technology/california-tech-culture-that-sha... It then hopped on the Free Software movement with redefining it as "open source" while the Internet was booming. And all of that is now being reaped by the corporations the "tech-hippies" themselves helped to create.

So you should continue the discussion like this: those bad people after 24/7 surveillance have no other option to infiltrate the surveillance caste. That's where things will get really hellish.
