Silly fun weekend project I finally got around to, introducing Making Shit Up As A Service (msuaas.com), an irreverent look at LLM generated thought leadership.

Don’t think I will make @monktoberfest.com this year. You should if you can.

We seem to be reaching a depressing circle of asking AI to summarise the post someone wrote with AI and then someone else asking AI to explain the summary. Exhaust fumes. Its a tool, and a fantastic tool, but its not a replacement.

Using openai deep research for an area you know well is, um, entertaining and shows up how dangerously inaccurate it can be. More summer intern than phd level research.
