Not a facetious question, but you don't build websites for a living, I think?

This kind of fairly idealistic thinking is so far from the ordinary web development norm that you have to go past "supporting that version of IE with 0.7% market share" to get to it.

I used to. Apologies if it came on too strong, but it wasn't idealistic thinking. For print, I find that I can easily use AI to turn a web page into a nice clean LaTeX and offer that as a PDF for those that want to print or read offline.

But that's impractical (not to mention non-deterministic and a bit of a privacy risk) for any kind of online printability of dynamic information.

Most "I need a printout of this" information is timely and dynamic and needs fixing in a physical form.

A print stylesheet seems like something you could get an LLM to write.

It’s weird that you’re opposed to a few lines of CSS but happy to boil the ocean to implement the same thing via non-deterministic AI.

I mean, everyone has their own workflow preferences so I wouldn’t criticise you for wanting to use AI in your own personal set up. But it feels like your two statements there should be moral opposites of each other.
