It looks like generic AI slop, the site doesn't even render the headings for their SEO spam "Curated AI Tool Collections by Use Case" section properly and they're half cut off. The images all have the very distinct generic AI hue to them without any attempt of bringing it into a specific style or brand.
Who is upvoting this stuff? Do people not care? Is it just bots gaming the system? Am I an old man shouting at a cloud?
Since then people have been posting Graveyards to show most businesses and products are never successful in the first place , but with a category filter to make it appear unique.
Correction: for the investors.
This is just slop. I wouldn't give this too much attention.
Just the first item I can see https://tooldirectory.ai/tools/letterdrop-ai-content-creatio... but the site just looks fine? https://letterdrop.com/
Maybe some of these are not really dead but thriving enough they are able to get a proper .com domain :^)
Ditto for Weights and Biases.
Plus they aren't even AI products, but either have vigorous pre-AI use (W&B) or are completely non-AI but just used by lots of prototypes (streamlit)
I don't see how you can say it has "pre-AI use" unless you are narrowly defining AI to be LLMs.
seems up? then again, i do not know anything about the tool. maybe the marketing site is up, but the tool isn't?
This adds a tiny amount of value, sure, but enough to gamble millions on? Obviously not.
No wonder they failed
When the brain is off for one thing, it's off for the rest as well. There is a lot of talk about "we don't have to think about code so we can think of ideas", but that's not how it works. We just don't think.
> Microsoft's Bing search engine with AI-enhanced features The product has since been folded into Microsoft; visitors to the original URL are now redirected to copilot.microsoft.com.
What? Besides the fact that Bing was always a MSFT product, the LLM assisted search feature on Bing is still separate [0] from copilot.microsoft.com. At most it was a rename, though Copilot on the MSFT side is different from the one on Bing, is different from the one relying on your local TPU, is different from the one on Github... Great branding.
Even if the content was unreviewed LLM slop, I'd be hard pressed to find a model that outputs that Bing was bought by MSFT when at no point were the two separate.
Also, missing some of the greatest failures like Bard, Dia Browser, Sora, etc.
e: Apologies, I had this confused for the other "dead tech projects" website posted recently that was similarly full of false information: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47945955
To rephrase it: Please stop posting slop websites full of incorrect information.
Most of these AI wrappers shouldn't be businesses and most of them are scams.
When OpenAI and Anthropic's TAM is any software business or anything that runs on a digital screen, the margins for every software business trends to 0.
Try it - type a word into your browser with .ai and you’ll see
I also, thanks to meat gpt, met a guy who sold his startup and pivoted to making beef jerky which sometimes he sells from under his coat pretending it’s drugs.
MeatGPT might’ve lost a competition to a site with perfectly rendered 3d sandwiches, but I’m not bitter, I’m umami.
TBH I'm so arrogant, I always suspect there's redundant nonsense in any code module I haven't myself inspected. LLM code is no different.
I don't think this is arrogance in the sense that it's probably correct. It is however pretty easy to take that line of thinking into an arrogant attitude though, which is the real issue.
But, for some projects, yes—I still do line-by-line code review with a colleague.
Then again, a lot of my efforts are explicit refactor aimed at reducing LOC and tidying the codebase with, eg DRY.
> The few times I felt lazy and let an AI do a simple function for me, all hell broke loose.
This is confusing, because LLMs are more than capable of implementing "a simple function." How did you spec it out?
