I love the slider that asks how well you know the topic so it can assess how much technobabble it needs to feed you to satisfy your credulity.

I recommend hitting refresh until you get through. servers work better when you do that.

Edit

I rate the experience at -100/10. I had very low expectations. I thought it might surprise me by being as high at 2/10. But that proved to be waaaaaaay too optimistic.

---

I just had a bit of curiosity about the info. I assumed (and still assume) it's basically ~75% Wikipedia + ~25% sources that are other "improved" with AI.

Ninja edit #1: I had given up on the site but when I returned to the page - it had actually loaded.

Ninja edit #2: I searched for Frank Zappa to see what it would serve me up. But it's stuck. There's a slowly flashing green bar in the middle of the—

Ninja edit #3: Oh, shit. The page finally loaded!

Ninja edit #4: ~~Fuck this. Only small parts of the page loaded.~~ It finally finished. The page only is small parts. Haha - what shit. Compared to Wikipedia it's 0/10. It's just a shitty, short page that's ~800 words. And it's useless. The expanded sections are not loaded. You have to click them (green bar time again) and will they actually load? Will the info be even roughly accurate? I don't care. Wikipedia already exists and like the sane non-AI internet - entire pages load.

I can't even share the link! Why? This...

the rest of the page loads in silently eventually -- though I had to scroll to actually see any of the text. idk why there's massive headers that show no text there. it's normally about the same quality as the first 800 words and almost immediately contradicts anything said previously.

edit: the link thing is probably to frustrate people who got it to say a slur and wanted to share their world record attempt. links do work though: https://mycyclopedia.co/e/dccd3ab2-0983-44b5-bc06-aa609c843014 -- they just obviously go bad in 24 hours.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
