Fun and clever idea, an AI-enhanced I'm feeling lucky
From 3 comments
I wanted to hate this but... I can't, it's pretty cool. Yes, it's a fancy "I'm feeling lucky" (which they address) and I probably won't use these links just because of the…
joshstrange on HNPlain and simple: It's an AI-enhanced "I'm feeling lucky". As someone who uses the "I'm feeling lucky" regularly, this is definitely an improvement.

Questions
How the model was prompted and whether generic categories were tried
From 1 comment
