Your site popped into my head again and I thought I'd try something. Wasn't expecting it to actually work!

it's the first result for "anycrap shop" in google and ddg

I mean, when the site first came out, Google started to show product pages and impressions started to grow, but after a couple of weeks they dropped completely to zero and the pages were excluded from search index, and I don't see anything changing, only some pages got into the index, mainly because of links referring to the site. Well, there are almost 100k products here now and I hope this collective unconscious never gets into search results

Looks very well executed, congratulations! I'm curious what tech stack did you use to develop the site?
kafked · 5 months ago
Thanks! It's Next.js hosted on Cloudflare

Really curious what your prompts look like, the item descriptions are hilarious.

I am disappointed that the top voted comments are so supportive towards yet more generation of AI slop. Sites like this are making accurate search results by people for real world products that exist harder to get in front of the eyeballs that are looking for them. Sure, you might get a few minutes of lolz, but the misinformation seeps into search engines and then product reviews. It's the toxic waste that keeps on giving limited only by the cost of token streams.

You'll be surprised how quickly Google determined the usefulness of the site and practically removed it from the search results, and it was absolutely right to do so

Um... where do your suggestions come from?

I was trying to be edgy by typing something illogical, like 'sandpaper (sextoy)', and the search box added 'for babies.'

I'm more impressed than outraged I think, and curious if this is based on other searches or some engine. Though I'm not sure which would be worse.

It's just hardcoded and randomly chosen, no any suggestion logic in here

The internet is back!

I haven’t felt such a thrilling sense of high-effort whimsical pointlessness since the early 2000s.

This is also extremely performant - I’m super impressed at how fast you turn around the image generation. And whatever your system prompts are, they’re excellent.

The loading screen is also :chefs-kiss:

Edit: wait, I just discovered the Reviews. It just keeps getting better. Double edit: wait, I thought these were AI-generated. People are actually writing these?

I'm glad you liked it! Most reviews actually AI-generated but people can leave reviews too

I am not sure if it is written on the site, but can you tell us how you can generate images this fast and for free? I can't imagine this fast image generation is free, especially when it is scaled this large to let people play with it.

It's not free, unfortunately, next month I have some amazing bills waiting for me :) Thanks Cloudflare for the amazing speed
