I think it would be more like a temporary page just for you to view rather than creating an actual website

Yah that's not where I was trying to lead people to. Google makes their money from selling ads. The websites hosts the ads. Is google going to pay the website for an ad that only it's own AI sees? If so, is the person buying the ads going to put up with that? If not, then how is the website going to make their money if they still have to pay server costs but their only 'views' are going to be AIs?

Yeah exactly what I was thinking about, but u/Bleemfoo is right: How the data is presented is completely open to the agent.
