I built `This Hackernews Does Not Exist` which is similar to this: https://coxomb.github.io/This-Hacker-News-Does-Not-Exist/ HN comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33845946

The post that worries me most about the future is "Ask HN: What Happened to Pizza?"

There's also Rachel's Whacker News: https://rachelbythebay.com/fun/hrand/

I think everyone should have their own fake HN side project lol

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The silver lining is that flooding the internet with AI spam is self-defeating since it will taint the training data for future models. Instead of learning to immitate humans they'll begin to imitation the imitations, then imitate the imitations of the imitations.

Everything in archives pre-2021 is still untainted. All major social media, Q&A, code repos, and archive.org are timestamped. It taints future collection of training data, but not existing collection of training data.

What's the plan then, to coast on pre-2021 data forever? How much utility would todays LLMs have if they were trained on fossilized archives of the internet from 10, 15, 20 years ago?

I feel like stripping the emojis out would make it a bit more realistic

This is great! Pretty similar to what I did in that you have actual links to the articles and even images. If you had a cron script that auto-generated new content every day, I think that would be the only thing that I'm doing that crackernews doesn't yet.

Another interesting choice is you are generating the article content itself. It is wild how you can get it to generate markup on the fly for different styles of posts.

For my project, I'm generating structured JSON with an [OpenAI Function](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat/create#c...) as I found even if you tell it the format you want in the prompt, it sometimes ignores it or doesn't match exactly. Then I'm uploading the JSON and images to S3.

I didn't realize you could get a DALLE image and drop it in your own directory with a oneliner like you have. Very nice!

A good idea, did it.
