I am very proud to be the first discoverer of both Jerry Garcia and Trey Anastasio. It suits me. I also am the discoverer of a pretty good LLM pun - "Grateful Red," which I got by combining one of my various Grateful Dead related findings with "Mao Zedong." I had some other interesting discoveries as well, including the "Abominable Crocodile", "Abominable Orc", and whatever the hell a "Pterodump" is.

How do you know you are the first discoverer? Does it highlight this in some way?

Was working on the very same idea alongside a friend of mine, we happened to launch a few weeks ago. Quite a lot more fleshed out than Neal's version, if anyone wants to check it out! https://allchemy.io/ Edit: sorry if anyone is bumping into errors! We're running into bottlenecks with our supposedly auto-scaling database - working on it

Does this also use generative AI to create the results?

Its fun, but annoying that you have to do a lot of mouse dragging. Some more click-based interface would be better. Edit: some measure of progress would also be good. I cant know how much I missed Edit2: Megalodon + Cemetery seems to break the system, spits back nothing.

This would work better on mobile where dragging is easier and more intuitive

On mobile you don't have to drag, just click one and then the other.

First I discovered Slaughterhouse Five. Then Slaughterhouse Ten. Then Slaughterhouse Fifteen…

Kinda got tired at Slaughterhouse One Hundred Thousand.

My friends and I have played so much already that the list of elements on the sidebar is unwieldy. You can paste this little js snippet into the console to add a basic search feature items = () => [...document.querySelectorAll('.items div.item')] show = (elt) => elt.style.display='' hide = (elt) => elt.style.display='none' search = (text) => (items().forEach(show), items().filter(e => !e.innerText.toLowerCase().inclu…

Thanks for this! I ended up hitting refresh because of how long my list eventually got, I wish I'd seen this comment 10 minutes sooner!

Oh well, I guess now I'm forced to sink in another half-hour this evening! ;)
