Great idea and execution!

Some of the example links visibly takes me through 4 redirects. I’m wondering if it’d be useful to actually store the redirect results and jump directly to the resolved page. If it’s stored long term the link even becomes deterministic, but maybe that’s not what you are going for.

That very first link, https://vb.lk/generate-an-image-of-what-you-think-my-office-... prompted ChatGPT to generate an eerily accurate pic of my office. I didn't know how much stuff it was "remembering" about me.

So it’s a canned Google search. some people get excited over the meagerest things.

what-is-reality redirects to Wikipedia search. I’m not impressed. I wish I could tell the LLM: try again!

Can I use this to generate links to news stories that I stumbled across many years ago, but that Google is unable to find for me anymore? Because that would be really useful.

Great seeing another example here of The Monospace Web design theme https://owickstrom.github.io/the-monospace-web/

Oh so cool! Do you know of other themes like it, also open source?

Another small idea - in case there is no website or route that is statistically strong related to the requested link (based on whatever the model outputs as "strength") then vibe-code a small website

At the minimum I was hoping it would work for their own page

That's cool. I'm considering adding a feature like this for images. So you could just link to vb.lk/red-duck-200x300.png And it would generate (then cache) the image. Could be useful for placeholders, a bit like https://placehold.co/

Could even perhaps generate default favicons at vb.lk/favicon.ico and use the referer header (ie. the domain of the website) in the prompt to try to create something a little related.

Unfortunately not, I've just had this one opened in my browser for ages as a reminder (after seeing it on HN IIRC) and recognised it again in the OP instantly :)
