Honestly man, the world is now a worse place that this exists. You never should have made it. The data is just made up nonsense and the linked sources are bogus but its presented as some factual and thoughtful thing. I would be so incredibly ashamed to be associated with this.


And the majority of the comments are eating it up. Hackernews is cooked.

Welcome to the future I guess.


Yeah I'm kinda baffled by all the praise this is getting. It's like I live in a different reality.


But its just AI slop though. None of the data is real. It's completely made up. There is nothing interesting about this.


Well, its just AI-generated nonsense, so the story is just going to be the same slop you could generate with ChatGPT or whatever.


That's not how I see it. Not all AI writing is slop, it depends on how much human thought has guided it. I would always prefer to read something written by human intelligence, but if ever there were a case for AI writing it would be something like this.


I don't think this AI writing was guided anything other than some rudimentary prompt though. It also makes tons of obvious mistakes like saying the person died at 27 then was married at 29 or something.


I mean it's only cool if it is actually real data that we can draw interesting and meaningful insights from. This is all just made up nonsense.


I will say this with all honesty and sincerity to everyone who interacted with this site: If you didn't realize this was just LLM-generated nonsense within the first 45-60 seconds of using it, it's completely and unequivocally over for you. Your lack of discernment will lead to you being jerked around by AI-generated slop for the rest of your life.


Nearly 500 upvotes for something that is so very obviously just LLM slop. I think Hackernews is just totally cooked at this point. Whatever discernment the hackernews crowd once had is gone.


I feel this so very much. There is so much AI produced documentation and design docs at my job that look passable at the surface but are deeply flawed in ways that are difficult to articulate. It makes it difficult for me to convey to management how incredibly flawed the way our team is using AI is. Not to mention that it takes mere seconds to produce a document that has surface plausibility but would take hours or days for me to properly "debunk" it.


I think OP is more concerned with we are going to ensure that new data added to the "trusted corpus" is going to be free of LLM taint.
