#44I’m trying to reduce my extension exposure… I’ve heard too many stories from extension writers of being paid big sums to sell them off, and they’re replaced by some kind of malware. Nice, but I’d rather a proxy out website rather than yet another extension

#45Using a bullshit generator to remove bullshit seems questionable. That said I sympathize with your frustration over the flood of pure garbage that's drown the web.
The bullshit generator works really well. This is why there's so much bullshit in the first place.

#46One data-point, tested on a recipe website ( https://prettysimplesweet.com/french-toast ) and got what I was looking for without the fluff. How about the ability parametrize with the target URL? Something like https://cut-the-crab.streamlit.app/[TARGET_URL] ?
Isn't this shortsighted in the sense that it removes all incentive for the creators to create? A pre-click quality signal is more interesting and fair I imagine. Though I don't know how one can build a solution that is not game-able.

Before ~2006, we all had blogs, and posted regularly with no financial incentive; imagine a web where people posted to share their expertise, and that's what the early internet was. Money ruined this.

I like your energy.

#48Say what you will, this “AI” hype has top-notch entertainment value. I mean, getting people sold on the idea that they need “AI” to lessen the impact of “AI” on their lives is a level of absurdity that other marketing scams can only look at with envy. Interesting times.

#49Much of the trash on the internet has nothing to do with AI, but instead is caused by using AdSense type funding. If you have a site and use revenue from ads as your funding, then the way to in increase your revenue is more show more ads. So add more fluff, move the actual thing people are looking for to the bottom, etc. Oh and add controversy, "The only authentic". Then add sex - a suggestive photo. The thing is tha…
Speaking of recipes, I just tried this on a page with a quiche recipe. The original page was pretty much a novella built around a recipe. OPs tool worked perfectly. Nicely done.

#50The irony of AI removing AI content. I used this for my marketing generation (using AI of course) real estate business and it misinterpreted examples as the actual listings. Also if you use Https instead of https in the url field it gives an error…

We love novel ways of wasting fossil fuels!!
Nothing directed at OP here, I actually love this idea and I’ll totally use this for recipes
