I don't get it. Is it a parody? A copy of an existing website? An attempt to see how many people will sign up without reading the URL or page? An actual startup with an "ironic" URL?

The majority of the results seem like believable bullshit startups. Every now and then it makes a pretty good parody. "Myescent is like Google Plus but for Gaming" "Coner, Startup as a service" "Contracee, Rent a Phone as a service" "Ultrambu, Using the blockchain to create AI-Chatbots" "Malicious, Interactive learning" "Octozu, Using the blockchain in Dating"

I thibk it's a reference to https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ (AI-generated faces bases on real faces).

Anyone else get the sense this is more of a Mad-Libs style fill-in as opposed to the sort of AI-generated content found in other thisXdoesnotexist sites?
