"Server Not found" for any of:

- https://ai/

- https://www.ai/

- http://ai/

- http://ai.

- http://ai

and http://.ai/ gets redirected to a search engine searchfor ".ai" by firefox.

But http://www.ai/ works for some reason.

The http://ai/ works with Edge on Android.

It is interesting because http://.ai works (it says remove www, not the dot).

Edit: The HN generated link does not work because it appends a trailing slash to the end.

Works without the dot for me. (Not the https variant though.)

Yes, it worked for me too (Firefox). Interestingly http://ai goes to http://www.ai.com while http://ai/ works. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
