This is another one of my automate-my-life projects - I'm constantly asking the same question to different AIs since there's always the hope of getting a better answer somewhere else. Maybe ChatGPT's answer is too short, so I ask Perplexity. But I realize that's hallucinated, so I try Gemini. That answer sounds right, but I cross-reference with Claude just to make sure.

I made this experimental art project/game that's an LLM chat assistant, but where you're the AI. I wanted people to get a visceral sense of what it's like to answer the kinds of things that people prompt their chatbots day in and day out. If you're interested, I wrote up some more info on how I made it, including how the "user" prompts are generated with an eye for realism: https://bethechatbot.com/about Hope you enjoy it! I'd love to hear people's takeaways.

Hello HN, I just launched presbot.com Presbot makes it really easy to create a professional grade chatbot.

You can personalize the look and feel of your chatbot, train it with prescribed questions, add your own questions and share its link on your resume. It can answer questions on your behalf when you’re not reachable or busy. Think of it as a super scaled down interactive version of…
