Hey! Honestly didn't expect this to hit the HN top, I've already maxed out all my token limits! If you enjoyed wasting time here, there's a Buy Me A Coffee link in the footer. Thanks for the incredible response! This is why I really love building weird useless stuff for the internet. UPD: You guys are incredibly creative! 15000 products generated and counting. I'm laughing reading all this absurd stuff and crying at…

I'm having a lot of fun with this. I threw you a few bucks to cover my usage a few times over. ETA: I would encourage anyone here to throw a buck or two towards the creator. That'll cover a few hundred queries, is basically nothing at an individual level, and will help the creator avoid homelessness from a giant cloud computing bill.

I am disappointed that the top voted comments are so supportive towards yet more generation of AI slop. Sites like this are making accurate search results by people for real world products that exist harder to get in front of the eyeballs that are looking for them. Sure, you might get a few minutes of lolz, but the misinformation seeps into search engines and then product reviews. It's the toxic waste that keeps on giving limited only by the cost of token streams.

It would have to go before a court. I think it wouldn't be too hard to convince a jury (or judge) that a head-in-a-basket AI art + description is expression (first amendment) and not a threat Edit: your first link is a genuine threat. the second one is a picture of someone holding a photo-realistic, mangled head. The head-in-a-basket is neither

You should stay away from this, in case you haven't figured it out. You're not even in the ballpark of a correct understanding of this situation. Better to just think you could argue your way out of this with a deficient understanding of the law than to put it to the test and find out how wrong you are in a courtroom.

Relax, I have no interest in testing any of this. I'm just shocked that there's so little room for interpretation

Sorry if I'm acting dense, it's not on purpose. What am I missing?

Which LLM (or LLM API) were you using?

Search engines only (well, mostly) trust pages with inbound links. Given all this crap has no inbound links from the rest of the internet it should be harmless.

Well, until the endless "look at this item I made" posts show up on Reddit and other sites.

You'll be surprised how quickly Google determined the usefulness of the site and practically removed it from the search results, and it was absolutely right to do so
