To avoid confusion, why not always use a general AI model upfront, then depending on the user's prompt, redirect it to a specific model?

Someone built something similar using Lovable: https://preview--wiktok.lovable.app/
If I can use LLMs for free, why would I give money to OpenAI or Anthropic?
I worry that day jobs are useful far beyond money for side projects. You do what you don't want all day, but then you are able to feel happy enough to do great work when you go back home to do what you really want.

Ask HN: Is there a site to create Ads automatically?

I've been wondering if there's such a site that can create Ads on Google, Meta, TikTok right after the user uploads a doc with info about the campaign or client, maybe even integrated with LLMs. I recently discovered it's possible, but haven't seen any product so far.

I think it works as it should work. The problem here is the amount of content and how they're evaluating which video to recommend next. If these systems are showing things you'll likely spend more time with rather than useful things or things you'll enjoy the most, then I agree, it's got a fair share of anti-recommendation.

Ctrl + Alt does the trick.

I built this thing a few months ago because I wanted to write ideas or whole stories down at times when I should be working instead. It's awkward to get caught writing things you don't want other people to see yet (even more at the office).

It's been useful at times, though I really don't use it that much. I'm just (secretly) sharing. Maybe it will come in handy for some of you.

The "Search notes on ChatGPT" button is just to make it look a little more like a "serious" service.
