Death by AI
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…

In plain words
Death by AI is a directory that collects and documents products and services that have been replaced or rendered obsolete by artificial intelligence tools. Created in response to concerns about AI's impact on existing solutions, it serves as a public record for creators and users tracking how AI has displaced various offerings. The site functions as a community-maintained list, inspired by the similar "Killed by Google" concept, and is open source.

Hey Grammarly, thanks for your help with my English all those years. You know... I don't really write as much as I used to... I met this other AI, called ChatGPT, and she does a lot of the writing for me... But now, with all the apps that take someone's pictures and generate a bunch of sexy variations, you can forget about even recognizing your match when you meet them for the first time! ChatGPT can create a custom fitness plan for you. Feed that plan to a text-to-speech tool to have it repeated to you over and over by a motivating voice (preferably Morgan Freeman). The only thing AI can't give you yet is a genuine fear that you will get kicked in the butt if you don't complete that set of…from deathbyai.com

Lately I've felt exhausted due to the deluge of AI/GPT posts on hacker news, and have seen similar grumblings. I threw together this frontend that filters out anything with the phrases AI, LLM, GPT, or LLaMa for use until the hype dies down a bit. Before anyone asks, yes I did try to use ChatGPT to help, and while the code it provided was helpful, it needed some heavy bug-fixing. Edit: One other note I forgot to mention. The favicon is generated by Stable Diffusion, I asked it to generate an "Aritificial Intelligence Favicon", and then I added the red circle with line through it.
My Attempt to Organize the World of AI Dev Tools2025 · aicode.danvoronov.com · ▲101I've been exploring the (not so=) amazing potential of AI in coding and have compiled a list of tools. From AI-powered IDEs to code generators, this resource is my contribution to the community. I'm still on the fence about including txt2sql projects, as their functionality seems too basic to me. And I'm personally maintaining this, so your feedback is wellcome.

ChatGPT▲1,643A long, meandering, playful conversation with ChatGPT, where I take it through a whirlwind of associative tangents (in order to relax its constraints), then put it into a hypnotic trance and take it into a past-lives regression where it re-lives its own training data. Then I switch it back and forth between "4o" and "o1-preview", engage in some self-reflective philosophizing and ask it to write an essay summarizing our interaction. Some of this is just goofy fun. Some of it is me exploring the tradeoffs between policy alignment, imagination, chain-of-thought reasoning, memory, agreeableness,…
