Can anybody explain to me what is the purpose of this kind of bullshit website?
Satire. Webdev practice. Fun.

#82FYI: Press the refresh button. It generates a different fake compay every time you refresh it. Looks like it is kinda an AI research but I cannot get any detail behind it.
“It’s like Uber, but for healthcare” hahaha man do you want to tip your surgeon extra today?
This actually exists: https://www.lantum.com/
Locum health professionals are very common in the UK.

Someone made http://www.thispersondoesnotexist.com , which is an interesting site that shows how good AI is getting at generating realistic faces. It got quite some exposure.
Then parodies started appearing, like http://www.thiscatdoesnotexist.com and this one, and probably a lot of others that I didn't hear about.

#84"Spotify but for restaurants" actually sounds great though.

#85Also reminds me of the ICO websites that were rampant at the peak of the bitcoin bubble.

#86Anyone 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?
As author of 'This Waifu Does Not Exist' https://www.thiswaifudoesnotexist.net/ (which does use StyleGAN+GPT-2-small, with even better anime-finetuned GPT-2-small samples coming tomorrow or so), I feel a little insulted that the 'X Does Not Exist' brand is being diluted by Mad-Libs-style efforts. The snowclone exists to show off neural net work specifically, not just any old aleatorics.
Thats understandable. Where "This Waifu Does Not Exist" serves as a demonstration of GANs, "This Startup Does Not Exist" is more of a satirical jab on how "disruptive" startup endeavors are really generic efforts that don't amount to anything

Is this really as impressive as I think it is, or is it more or less recoloring different images?

Reminds me more of Faker: https://github.com/marak/Faker.js

#90The generated pages definitely are very structured, with each page belonging to a certain area/subject (ie. "Blockchain for Kids" is then presented as "Not just a Blockchain"). A lot seems to be cut-and-paste together, and not a purist implementation of GANs. With that being said, it still is very impressive that these generic page designs can feel like real world examples of what you might see in a pre-seed startup site. The satire hits right on the mark.
