Works nicely for poems. Here’s Walt Whitman’s “ O Me! O life!": —- Life's a mess, people suck, I suck more. Everyone's lost, nothing matters. So what's the point? Beats me. —- It actually would be a fun little game called poem distillater, you are given the distillation, and then must choose the original poem, maybe multiple choice or something.. “Suppose” by EE Cummings: —- An old dude with flowers on his noggin stu…

Shakespeare’s “To be or not to be” from Hamlet.

Should I off myself or not? That's the question. Is it better to put up with life's crap, Or say "screw this" and check out early? Death's just a nap, right? No more drama. But what if the afterlife sucks even worse? That's why we keep trudging through this BS. Fear makes us chicken out. So we sit around overthinking instead of doing anything.

Input (copied from eigenvalues and eigenvectors Wikipedia entry): In linear algebra, an eigenvector (/ˈaɪɡən-/ EYE-gən-) or characteristic vector is a vector that has its direction unchanged by a given linear transformation. More precisely, an eigenvector, v, of a linear transformation, T, is scaled by a constant factor, λ, when the linear transformation is applied to it: T v = λ v. It is often important to know thes…

Move over Simple English Wikipedia.

It seems to have an inherent negativity bias?

With already negative copypastas it works too well:

Input:

    Two steps ahead. I am always two steps ahead. This has been the greatest social experiment I’ve come to know. Certainly the greatest social experiment of my entire life. It’s alluring, it’s compelling, it’s gripping, to bear witness, to observe all these unwell, unbalanced disoriented beings roam the internet in search of stories. In search of ideas, of conflict, of rivalries. Where people develop a distinctive desire for direct engagement. Where people feel involved with the stories, and therefore become product of influence. Thirsty from distraction, from time unspent, from lackluster lifestyles. Spoiling their minds while stimulating them at the exact same time. It’s brilliant, but it’s also dangerous. It’s dangerous. I feel as if my life has been positioned to where I’m monitoring ants on an ant farm. One follows another, follows another, follows another. It’s mesmerizing, it’s enthralling, it’s spellbinding. Just look at all these consumers. All of these lost and bored people. Consuming anything that they’re told to consume. I am, the villain, if I make myself one. And people will consume these stories year, after year, after year. Stories that shock, that confuse. Stories that are deliberately made to blur the boundaries between fact and fiction. Stories that permeate, infect, and linger in the minds of the ants. Influence the ants. Brainwash the ants. You, are the ant. I woke up this morning to money deposited into my account for simply not doing something. For simply not going through with something. People are the most fucked up creatures on this planet. And you will continue to consume. And I’ll continue to be two steps ahead. Today I thought it would be a splendid idea to go out and get some food, and film it for you. Gee are you surprised? Have you forgotten the story? Are you not paying attention? After all, you’re here to consume, are you not?
Output:

    TL;DR. I'm 2 steps ahead. You're an ant. I'm the villain. Consume my stories.

Here’s what I got: Translate from bullshit to no-bullshit. Be funny and sarcastic. Shorten text. Remove bullshit, don't explain. Return response in the same language as input. Return only response.

Just so I understand: this HN post consists of a 6-sentence plain English prompt, and a web app that passes the prompt plus presumably raw user input to a black box LLM API? Is there more?

Welcome to 90% of all AI startups born this year. It's both a testament of how powerful LLMs have become, and how wonderful it is that someone else is footing the bill for the massive amount of resources they consume.

Nice. I want my TV news subtitled with a slightly less flippant version of this. Bonus credit for also catching media training techniques and bad journalism. Actually, I would probably subscribe for a channel that aggregates other reporting on significant topics and takes it apart for bullshitlessness in the execution.

From Idiocracy: Female Reporter: It started off boring and slow with Not Sure trying to bullshit everyone with a bunch of smart talk: 'Blah blah blah. You gotta believe me!' That part of the trial sucked! But then the Chief J. just went off. He said, 'Man, whatever! The guy's guilty as shit! We all know that.' And he sentenced his a* to one night of rehabilitation.

I feel the sentiment can't be entirely wrong. But of course for the whole procedure to be sound, it's essential that the fact checking crew is better your average Joe.

Lets try it on itself: > add bullshit: Paste crap, get truth.

Output: > Revolutionize your digital content strategy by leveraging our cutting-edge AI-powered semantic transformation platform to seamlessly transmute suboptimal textual inputs into crystal-clear, paradigm-shifting prose that resonates with your target demographic and drives engagement metrics through the roof!

Use above as input and get as output: > Use our AI writing tool to make your crappy text suck less and maybe get some clicks.

Slightly different one as input: > add bullshit: Bullshit Remover. Paste crap, get truth.

Output: > Introducing our revolutionary Linguistic Veracity Enhancement Solution™! This cutting-edge, AI-powered content optimization platform seamlessly transforms convoluted verbiage into streamlined, high-impact messaging.

Needs the copy&pasted laughter at the end.

output of the Agile manifesto: 1. Make customers happy with quick, frequent software updates. 2. Embrace change, even last-minute. Use it to your advantage. 3. Ship working code often. Faster is better. 4. Devs and suits: talk daily. 5. Trust your team. Give them what they need and get out of the way. 6. Face-to-face beats emails and memos. 7. Working software trumps paperwork. 8.

That doesn't sound like the original was the Agile manifesto?
