Show HN: Death by AI
48 by demondragong | 23 comments on Hacker News.
I recently created a simple but efficient tool to help document writers generate a list of acronyms and definitions. Here comes chatGPT. At home, it’s all fun and games until I realize this thing might be able to do exactly what my “dumb” website does: "Give me the list of acronyms used in the previous text and their definitions"... It had a good-looking answer. Of course... At first I was bummed, but quickly realized that even though the output looked neat, it was also not reliable (missing some acronyms, adding some that were not in the original text, albeit related to it). Anyway, the next day I stumbled upon https://ift.tt/elKY5sd and the two things collided in my head: other people probably feel like AI is going to "kill" them or their product too. Why not make a list of these things? A shameless clone later (it's open source ) https://deathbyai.com was born. I was initially going for a more serious tone, but it soon felt impossible to give a fair story for each item in ~5 lines, so I went for something lighter and, hopefully, more fun. This is neither an attempt to criticize AI nor one to bury its "victims." On the contrary, I hope this page can highlight the potential of AI while showing that the "old ways" can still be relevant. Hope you like it. Feedback and contributions are welcome!
