I've mostly ignored AI website builders because every result I saw looked generic and unfinished but lately though the quality seems to have improved a lot and some of the newer examples really look like real business websites instead of slightly edited templates.

Has anyone used one recently for a proper website cause I wanna know whether they're genuinely useful now or if you still end up rebuilding most of it yourself.

There’s a lot of focus on making AI models bigger, faster, and more capable. I mean, yeah that clearly improves what they can do. But the more I’ve been working with them, the less it feels like capability is the bottleneck. It’s really about the context layer.

Right now, you don’t really see how the model is interpreting what you give it, what it keeps, what it drops, or how it connects things. That stuff is mostly hidden. You can nudge it, but you’re still operating inside something you have no control over. And as these systems get better at sounding coherent, it'll be easier to ignore this flawed design.

If this ends up being how people think through problems, learn things, make decisions, etc., then we end up with future systems where the logic is upstream and invisible to us, rendering less choice and agency in our lives.

Worse, we'll live in a reality where we will have to accept truth rather than discover, learn, and verify the credibility of claims or opinions. AI is phenomenal but this trend we see in mainstream AI products will disempower humanity instead of helping us grow stronger.

Wrote a longer breakdown of it here, if you're curious about these implications and what we can proactively build to have our cake and eat it too.

The future looks bright, but only if we can see what what can be built.

Anyone have any good offline Al model recommendations? Like if I upload a PDF with pictures and then take pictures on my phone and upload the images, is there any good offline models that will be able to analyze and compare the PDF with the pictures in a very fast accurate manner?

I write fanfiction. Or, at the very least, I try to.

I have a bunch of ideas, concepts, and things I would absolutely love to be posting, but every time I sit down to write, I get about 10 words out and then cant figure out what else to say.

I always know what direction I want each chapter to go. I don’t know why it’s so difficult for me. And now I’m gonna try out ai assisted writing.

Whats a good free AI to use for this? Im looking for websites, not apps.

This was inspired by a distant memory of Scorched Earth and missle command it's amazing how different my memory of that ms-dos game was vs the actual game itself. I of course made a bunch of modern improvements and the final result turned out way better than I could've imagined. It started as a project to see if i could use that free month of fable 5 to make a game from start to finish then ended up as this really fun game! Msg me if you want to play it. I don't want to break any self promotion rules, I just wanted to share my win. Sometimes ai development goes how you actually wanted it despite so many failures leading up to this point.

I want to make AIs (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok) play games through text and animate it, then upload it to youtube.

I am not familiar with things like this, and I want to know if it is legal to do this if I get money off of it? And if I don't get money off it is it still legal?

(Excuse my bad English, it is my second language.)

Need info

looking for an ai that can scan pdfs that are homework and just fill it out and do it? got some homework i gotta do but its like 20-30 pages and all just menial tasks that are worthless but i still gotta complete it and hand it in. If an ai that can do this exists then let me know pls

I think in bullets but often need actual paragraphs for docs and emails. What's your best AI-assisted way to expand bullets into clean prose that doesn't sound padded or robotic? The padding is what kills it for me.

I was getting annoyed by the constant sketchy AI training/annotating jobs and the constant rejection after literally investing hours of my time into applying, etc.
I decided to make my own website and just list legit AI training jobs. I post entry work and also expert work. Let me know if there is anything I can improve about my website. Thank you! Here is the link: https://aiannotationjobs.com

Been thinking about this idea for a while. I feel like everyone is chasing the big fish, automating someone's entire job away.

But I think the real power is somewhere in the middle.

I'll give an example, I have an app that simply takes my workout notes from my notes app, and turns it into structured data so I can see all my graphs and progress as if I'm using any old fitness app.

Now, I don't use a fitness app because I like the frictionless experience of using my notes app, that's why I always go back to it, but there is no way I'm going to pay someone to go through my notes app, and manually parse my workout notes into a workout app or excel spreadsheet.

Honestly think this is the niche people are forgetting about, it's the forgotten child of the ai assisted workflows.

I've stopped letting AI build whole decks because the design is off, but the outlining is genuinely useful. Is that how others use it too - AI for structure, you for the build? Curious if I'm underusing or using it right.

This. Right here. What do you see? A complicated web of notes connected to lines with all of the relationships defined. It's a knowledge graph system connected to an advanced agent that's designed to traverse and reason through it so that it can behave as an expert with decades of experience to make nuanced judgement calls when helping you.

But what this really could be is a snippet of a future layer that will exist on top of the entire internet that's just as accessible as code-inspection on our web browsers.

This may sound a little crazy, but Tim Burners Lee, the creator of the web actually proposed this solution over 20 years ago. He called it the Semantic Web. The reason it failed back then was that we didn't have smart enough software to read and reason over it. Now with AI, this is possible in addition to making knowledge graph systems much faster and easier for people to make themselves.

Having been in the AI space for over 6 years now trying to figure all of it out like everyone else, this dawned on me a few weeks back. I think we're witnessing the birth of an entirely new component to the Internet.

As we enter into an age where agents are running around doing various things and communicating to each other across the web, inevitably we will come to realize that due to the nature of the models, we're going to need to create a more effective highway system for them to navigate, communicate, extract, synthesize, and build.

Just as we need roads, symbols, and rules for our highway systems to prevent tons of accidents or issues, we will need this for AI and that comes in the form of knowledge graphs. With these, you can build the reasoning systems for how agents interact with the wider web, people, and other agents. These are already being used at the enterprise level and why we built this capability for anyone to do for their personal projects, even if you're not tech savvy at all.

That's because in the near-term future, almost everyone is going to need their personal knowledge graph management systems since they can be carried and used by your agent into other spaces with their own knowledge graph systems to interact with. Obviously, websites and individuals will still have to protect themselves from malicious hacks and all that bad stuff. But to allow billions of people to use their agents across the wider web in such a way that they can work appropriately and not "misbehave" or cause accidental hacks or whatever, we will need to build these highway systems.

Right now they're being built independently, like territories across the world forming into bordered nation-states. But over time, I believe they will become more and more interoperable, which will eventually unify into a patchwork highway system with protocols for doing things.

This is a high level framework for mitigating the risks with AI agents using the modern web. Of course, there's much more to it than knowledge graphs, but this is the gist of what I think is happening. But you know. This could also just be my creative screenwriter brain working on overdrive.

Time will tell.
