Earlier quoted context omitted.

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 the LLM API wrapper future. This is basically what 99% of the "AI startups" do.

Just so I understand: you’re talking about setting up an FTP account, using curlftpfs, and SVN/CVS for Linux users? And even with all these, you’d still need USB drives for connectivity issues? Plus, you're naming it Dropbox? Is there more?

Looks like these are the instructions: " 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. " I'm surprised it works so well with so few instructions! What underlying model are you using? Edit: After digging further, it looks like it's using an Anthropic model. Really nice.

As upper-mentioned, I'm using Claude 3.5 Sonnet. Nice that you were able to get instructions

This is hilarious. I think it could also be a serious tool - without the added snark. I'd pay for a version of this that allowed me to look at product pages and just get the facts without the manipulative bullshit.

How would you like it for serious tool? Is website enough or you would like to have it as a browser extension?

Btw. for longer text it's less ironic, focused more on removing bullshit.

Would't that work by just asking chatgpt or similar to summarize and remove the buzzwords? (I rarely use these tools so I do not know if they are efficient in such tasks)

The difficult part would be keeping it working after it gets popular, and all the marketers in the world try to break it.

Cool, I'll try it with some longer text

As a browser extension would be most usable (although I'd have to think about the privacy issues with that).
