Show HN: I created a self-typing typewriter (and connected it to an LLM)

[beala]

Hi HN!

I've been tinkering on a programmatically controlled typewriter. I've got a working prototype and it's been a lot of fun to play with. Of course I connected it to ChatGPT so I can chat with it, and I also have it acting as a clock, but it doesn't just type out the time. It writes a poem about the time.

I'm posting this to gauge interest in purchasing one. It's all handmade, so I can't scale it up, but if enough people are into it, I might make a small batch. Or maybe sell it as a kit for the DIY crowd.

Anyway, just wanted to put it out there and see what you all think. Thanks for checking it out!

A very interesting attempt, but it requires some hardware-related knowledge to make a similar attempt like the blogger.

Connecting old tech to new tech is awesome, I love this idea.
