Comment on Asking AI to build scrapers should be easy right?

I wonder why the focus on replaying UI interactions, rather than just skipping one step ahead to the underlying network/API calls? I've been playing around with similar ideas a lot recently, and I indeed started out in a similar approach as what is described in the article - but then I realized that you can get much more robust (and faster-executing) automation scripts by having the agents figure out the exact network calls to replay, rather than clicking around in a headless browser.
