Ask HN: What's the coolest non standard application of LLMs you've seen?

Essentially, I wrote a small browser extension, that takes the content of LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube posts/titles, and filters them out based on if they are clickbait, low effort, etc.

It's liberating :D

It starts off with some classical computer vision shenanigans to understand the character movement, map layout, and to create the 'desire' to explore. Then the LLM is given input of images, sound descriptions and prior thoughts, lettting Lara remark on the situation, which feels very surreal and, at least for me - very unexpdcted. E.g. she hears the wolves howl and wonders how they survived in this environment. Or meta-remarks on game music changes.

Commonly, these lists are based in just what word appears in the text at "surface" level. However, words commonly have multiple "senses" or nuances of meaning in which they are used. Dictionaries list these senses, but it has been traditionally hard to disambiguate which sense the word is used in, given an usage in text.

LLM's make this feasible, so I'm attempting to create a word sense/usage frequency list.

He was a well-known tarot reader, mystic and Haskeller in the northern Finnish community; without his help it's very likely I would have been deported from the country before I could get my passport sorted out. We came up with this plan together before he passed mostly out of a really weird shared sense of humor.

It uses LLMs to extract, summarize, and tag the front page articles and classify the different perspectives in the comments.

No more FOMO :)

It usually manages to create a reasonably coherent and amusing poem from up to 10 completely random words, something would struggle to do myself. People tell me they enjoy them, although some of the poems turn out a bit odd haha.

Here is an example: https://x.com/SquareWordOrg/status/1660702885154377730?s=20

It’s not our main area of interest, but it’s been interesting to experiment with how human/machine and machine/machine interactions work in real-time when you limit how fast agents can move or write. It's much easier to engage in a dialogue with agents that can't create / move tens of sticky notes and graphics faster than you can create one.

The uncensored one [1] - finally gave me instructions for making crack and a bomb. It felt cool that it would answer everything, like a 90s zine.

Custom GPT with instructions that outputs issues according to our issue templates in markdown.

Allows me to write horribly typoed bullet point lists and get out surprisingly good issues.

Gets me 80-90% done in a fraction of the time. I can then just edit them to get them to be what I need.

What I'd really want to get working is a PR desription generator.

- pretty print and indent “json-like” string (ex. Python object str) from a log, or json with typos (extra commas, wrong quotes, imbalanced brackets…) with a summary of errors at the end.

- verbal description (numerically listed) of the changes between two commits of a yaml file, esp when order has changed making git diff hard to read.

The front end looks like a chat bot, but on the backend we're using LLMs to find, parse, rate, classify, and rephrase content on the fly for individuals.
