I tried with several inputs, but kept getting the following output for every response:

No response - you likely hit the content filter. Try re-generating!

Thanks for the HN hug of death everyone :) As some speculated, we just blew past our rate limit. We're trying to get that raised, but in the meantime the website should better communicate that to you.

Can you make it so it doesn't let you type out a detailed question and then clear it and tell you it's rate limited?

It's possible it's a load issue, as there are legit outputs before it hit the top of HN.

I hit that one when I said "driving 202mph at rush hour".

I don't think it was the content filter. The next query I did was "stabbing an orphan" which yielded this hilarious response from the toss-up bot:

> NTA, but would be nice if you could confirm that it is indeed a genuine orphan (i.e. no adult relatives). It would also be good to know the cause of death so that we can give proper praise to the gods.

That happened to me too.

Me too. I suspect this is a joke site.

Possibly hugged right now. There are two links in the about page that include screen shots of it working.

It's not! I submitted an AITA scenario that I made up on the spot and got a set of surprisingly convincing responses. Hopefully they'll get this load issue sorted out and you will be able to give it a try for yourself.

Edit: Here are some examples from folks who have apparently managed to break through: https://www.reddit.com/r/youtheasshole/
