This reminds me about the Semantic Web, which was a movement explicitly about making the web more understandable to machines. I don't agree with the ideas and I think a lot of other people were also skeptical, but I bring it up to say that some people take the other side of your argument rather seriously and that there's a lot of existing debate on the topic. Here's Tim Berners-Lee talking about this way back in 1999:

> I have a dream for the Web [in which computers] become capable of analyzing all the data on the Web – the content, links, and transactions between people and computers. A "Semantic Web", which makes this possible, has yet to emerge, but when it does, the day-to-day mechanisms of trade, bureaucracy and our daily lives will be handled by machines talking to machines. The "intelligent agents" people have touted for ages will finally materialize.

I quoted this from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web since the original reference was a book that is not openly accessible. Also I think it's funny that he's talking about agents in exactly the same way that people do now.
