Two comments:
1. This should've been an addon/plugin for the top-5 most used text editors (Word, Google Docs), potentially also a plugin for WordPress/Drupal/Facebook/Twitter/Instagram, instead of a standalone text editor that nobody's going to download.
2. Looks like every YC startup now is going to be a thin wrapper around OpenAI's GPT endpoints. "Dump your ideas into this textbox and let the magical black box add some fluff". Things are going to get boring, old and non-original very quickly.
- awestroke 4y agoLiterally nobody installs addons for word or Google apps. Nobody cares about WordPress. You can't have plugins for social networks, and this is for long form text anyway. Bad ideas all around
- whatch 4y agoDidn't try it, but isn't it how Grammarly works? Just an addon for any input field
- evrydayhustling 4y agoThis. Should be a browser plugin for maximum deployment impact.
- bloppe 4y agoI think a docs plugin would be pretty sweet. Would install. It's probably not the kind of thing you can start a company around, though. More like a side project.
- jaapbadlands 4y agoGoogle will soon be adding this sort of stuff directly to their office tools anyway, just like Microsoft is.
- esafak 4y agoAnd companies even block them for security.
- CharlesW 4y ago> Nobody cares about WordPress. 29.41% of the world's top 10K websites use WordPress. 29.65% of the world's top 100K websites use WordPress. I wish nobody cared about me like that.
- awestroke 4y agoAnd nobody cares about those statistics too
- alvah 4y ago"Nobody cares about WordPress" Are you sure about this?
- awestroke 4y agoYes
- chaxor 4y agoThis is HN... People enjoy not using Microsoft or Google products. Do it on neovim and people will be happy.
- sakras 4y ago> Things are going to get boring, old and non-original very quickly. I’d say they already have. I have half a mind to write a HN front end that filters out any posts with the phrases “GPT”, “LLM”, and “AI”.
- jstummbillig 4y agoNice. I do hope you'll let GPT4 do that for you.
- remkop22 4y agoI would gladly use it
- mixmixmix 4y agoI'll use it more than this type or whatever document thingie
- sakras 4y agoI went ahead and threw one together: https://save-buffer.github.io/no_ai/ https://save-buffer.github.io/no_ai/
- corwinstephen 4y agoAgree. The AI stuff is pure novelty, I’m skeptical it’s going to be truly adopted in its current form in any substantial way.
