This is fantastic. I couldn't find any obvious way to search for a new page, but you can simply bang out any arbitrary URL slug and the new article will be hallucinated fresh, eg: https://halupedia.com/shortest-cave-in-the-world https://halupedia.com/echolocation-ability-in-spiders

This is wonderful. I just spat out the first phrase that came to my mind and boom:

I'm cackling at some of these - what a perfect way to put down the phone and get lost in a world of weird. We are indeed in a simulation LOL

It’s been defaced. It’s already got sex crimes and antisemitism all over the place.

Just in the comments, right? That is where I see it. If I were the site owner I would just turn comments off. It was a cute idea when someone on HN suggested it, but without moderation open commenting becomes a cesspool in a hurry.

Love it! It feels very Borges! Feature request: also be able to click on the Talk page to see the controversies. I don't always want to trust the article itself as the final word. Edit: Oh look, there's an article about the YC! https://halupedia.com/y-combinator

Just added comment section :)

Which now has ascii penises and other art and ... colorful commentary.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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?

I'm reasonably confident there is no argument that I would buy.

I hate AI slop more than average, but this is not slop being injected into human places. This is a dedicated dumping ground for slop, paid for by the owner/instigator of said slop. I don't have to go there, and it's not trying to fool anyone and no one will be fooled by it.

AI slop on a forum or social media or on facebook convincing boomers that a black person slapped a cop or whatever racist garbage they're being fed today? Fetch the guillotine.

AI slop as part of a dumb art project on somebody's personal website that isn't trying to manipulate or mislead? Have at it. Go nuts. It's your press, print as many pages of slop as you like.

So, I have exhaustively covered the possible arguments I can come up with for why this could be "actively harmful for the web", and rejected them outright.

The All Entries ( https://halupedia.com/all-entries ) part of the site is a bit alarming. I think OP might want to do a little bit of basic automoderation here.

In today's world it does not take long to be reminded that we cannot have nice things. Or maybe the gov't has their own bot army to wreak havoc and convince voters that actually, we really do want privacy-ending ID verification laws after all.
