I'm not affiliated with this project, I just find it hugely useful for reducing AI lock-in risk.

I don't have much in terms of hard data unfortunately. My site is very new, so measuring the AEO impact isn't really possible yet (no baseline to compare against). I am, however, collecting analytics on whether various routes are being hit (e.g. llms.txt and .md routes), as well as the frequency of various AI user agents, so I can do a follow-up post once I have some more data.

One person's unethical AI product is another's accessibility tool. Where the line is drawn isn't as obvious as you're implying.

Your comment is some interesting food for thought, but I wanted to respond to a couple statements you made:

> not being able to center text no matter how much frontend experience we have

Not being able to center things is a bit of a meme, but flexbox was introduced back in 2009 and has been supported by major browsers for quite a long time. Centering text and elements is now extremely easy.

> css could benefit from knowing about the dimensions of container elements

You're in luck! Container queries were added to CSS fairly recently:

How does using these TLDs exploit "3rd world people"?
