One of the creators here (the one who tucks apples). We’re dead serious about this and intend to raise a preseed round from the top vc’s. Yes, it’s not a perfect technology, yes we made this for a hackathon. But we had that moment of magic, that moment where you go, “oh shit, this could be the next big thing”. Because I can think of nothing more transformative and impactful than working towards making backward engineers obsolete. We’re going full send. As one of my personal hero’s Holmes (of the Sherlock variety) once said, “The minute you have a back-up plan, you’ve admitted you’re not going to succeed”. We’re using this as our big product launch. A beta waitlist for the polished product will be out soon. What would you do with the 30 minutes you’d save if you made the backend of your react tutorial todo list app with GPT-3? That’s not a hypothetical question. I’d take a dump and go for a jog in that order.

Amen, brother. Six weeks ago I would have read your intentions as "trolling," but after six weeks of GPT play... PM me if you want to throw your pitch towards money [no promise — none of them/us know WTF is going on].

Having an absolute blast with this. If you read fiction, you just found your replacement best bookclub friend (IMHO, an avid reader). And this "friend" has actually read the book, and you can ask it ANYTHING YOU WANT with zero shame / criticism.

Freudian slip?
