24 alternatives to I stopped ChatGPT from using em dashes
Hey everyone, I built a small Chrome extension that automatically removes em dashes from ChatGPT responses. It uses a few regex rules to guess the appropriate replacement punctuation (usually commas or periods). Goodbye AI slop!

The use of the em dash (—) now raises suspicions that a text might have been AI-generated. Inspired by a suggestion from dang [1], I created a leaderboard of HN users according to how many of their posts before November 30, 2022—that is, before the release of ChatGPT—contained em dashes. Dang himself comes in number 2—by a very slim margin. Credit to Claude Code for showing me how to search the HN database through Google BigQuery and for writing the HTML for the leaderboard.

I got frustrated with Gmail's lack of customization, and built an extension for myself. It doesn't do much other than modify how Gmail is displayed in Chrome. Does it as minimally as possible (that I can engineer). Done locally, zero remote processing. Currently built the following settings (want to add more soon): Conversations: * Show newest message first * Show every message in a thread (sometimes they're collapsed into numbered bubbles) * Remove AI overviews (retches) Layout/UI: * Minimize the search & top bar * Minimize the far left "rail" (Mail/Chat/Meet) * Hide a bunch…

GPTRecap▲134I always loved seeing my Spotify Wrapped every year and wondered why doesn’t ChatGPT have something similar? So I built GPTRecap: paste your exported file and instantly see your top topics, total messages, and more. All core features run 100% in your browser, no account, no data stored. Premium insights (like deeper topic analysis) are processed via OpenAI, but nothing is saved on our servers. Would love feedback! What stats would you want to see next?

I’ve been using this for my own workflow and friends suggested I share it with them so I quickly threw together my first chrome extension! As an ex-editor, I think chatGPT is overlooked as an editor with everyone jumping straight into writing. Editing is essentially giving it as comprehensive a writing prompt as possible. Playing with the actual prompt also gets you a wide range of different results that grammarly/other apps cant really do. The x% has been changed tool was the first thing I built to see how intrusive chatGPT's editing was at a glance. My biggest struggle was trying to…

I get it, ChatGPT is cool and you can do plenty with it. But I'm getting tired that every other post is about ChatGPT, and every other comment is about ChatGPT's take on a topic. So I made this bookmarklet to remove comments and posts about ChatGPT (including this one) from HN. Drag and drop the text below to your browser bar, give it a name like "Remove ChatGPT", and get rolling. Whenever you load submissions or a specific comment thread, just click the bookmarklet and the page will be ChatGPT (And even ChatGTP) free. javascript:(function() {if…

Hey HN, If you're like me you probably have hundreds of ChatGPT chats for each idea or project you have. And each one keeps it's unique context and details that are lost in the long list of chats in the sidebar. Since there is no way to search old chats in ChatGPT Web UI, I built this feature myself as a browser extension. In February, I released it and tried to apply freemium model and see how it works. I was ecstatic when I had a first sale in less than a week! That was first time anyone bought my product ever. Since then I got into top3 in Chrome Web Store for "search chatgpt history" and…
