A powerful conceptual image depicting the transformation of the internet. The left side illustrates a vibrant, flourishing ‘open web’ as a thriving tree of life, with diverse applications and websites interconnected in a healthy ecosystem. In stark contrast, the right side portrays a future in decline, where this ecosystem is withering. The roots now feed monolithic server towers labeled ‘AI’ and ‘Advertising’, symbolizing centralization and control by big tech. This visual metaphor serves as a commentary on the decline of the open web amid changes in artificial intelligence and online advertising.
