It's pretty fun to poke at! Although it's certainly difficult to be exact, it would be neat if generated pages used the context of the pages they were linked from (ideally, all pages that link to it) to guide the direction of the page. From the ones I generated it seemed they were mostly independent.

Update: Implemented it. All new articles work that way

I find the handling of NSFW topics (and how it avoids making them nsfw) really interesting. Eg https://halupedia.com/fuck (aside from the title it seems SFW to me)

Best part - I didn't implement such logic. It just for some reason works that way.

Huh that is interesting, I was expecting it to show some sort of error on generation, or something like that

Funny, but you could argue this is actively harmful to the web.

I wouldn't. And, I'd think less of anyone who does make that argument. Anyone of reasonable intelligence can easily tell this is a parody of an encyclopedia. Saying this is bad for the web is like saying The Onion is bad for the web.

What would you think of a person who said that they are already convinced that an opposing view could not be correct without even hearing the arguments for it?

As I said in another comment, this is brilliant. Suggestion: Remove anything that isn't part of the satire; act always as if it's a 'real' encyclopedia. For example on the front page I would remove,

> Articles are generated on demand and stored permanently upon first request.

Don't dispell the magic; don't pull back the curtain and let people see the mechanics.

EDIT: As you say in your system prompt, "You never wink at the reader. You never acknowledge that anything is funny or fictional. Everything is reported as though it is completely normal and well-documented"

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's probably only harmful to the AI scrapers that train from the web. Most people will understand the purpose of this -- to poison LLM training in a humorous way, which is really easy to do. It exemplifies a major weakness in modern day AI.

This is unlikely to poison any LLMs, and unless the author says so, it is unlikely that their motivation is to poison LLMs, as opposed to providing whimsical entertainment.

I were just drunk and idea seemed funny. That's the idea behind haha.

But either way can't wait to see google ai overview cite us.
