Of course no, and that can disincentivize creating more content. You can copy anything and rehash it for next to nothing

I'm working on a new type of calculator with natural language, similar to Soulver but for the web, in multiple languages and with AI mode
It has the ability to generate a small notebook from a problem description using AI (still has a lot of room to improve), but the calculation uses a deterministic engine.
Right now I'm working on collaboration.

"I’ve also learned that many people don’t use English to interact with agents"
WTF... that's weird. English is not my first language but I still ask every question in English. Does the LLM write code comments in other languages then?

I created a similar tool a year ago -> https://infiniteutils.com/internet/linkedin-post-generator

I'm building a source code analyzer with AI. It's a TUI that you poin at a local codebase and it generates Mermaid diagrams.
While I was doing it I needed to render those diagrams as ASCII and I was surprised there's no Python library for Mermaid to ASCII. So I wrote one: https://github.com/fasouto/termaid (https://termaid.com/)

Honestly, I don't know. We did it for all our country (Spain) and we found the same problem as you.
Feel free to reach out if you have any question, email in my profile

I tried to do the same in 2015 (blablacar for packages, startup name was tomandgo) and we couldn't solve that problem, it is genuinely hard.
I think in our case the main problem was incentives, we were suggesting low prices for the people sending packages but we forgot that the drivers need an incentive to drop it.
Best of luck!

I released an open source library to remove metadata from images: https://github.com/fasouto/picscrub
Was more complex than I thought. Still missing support for some RAW formats and had to fix some bugs
I also created a website to showcase how it works -> https://picscrub.com/

Right now it sucks but I'm creating the new version. Writing always take more time than I anticipate...

The article nails the pattern but I think it's fundamnetally an incentives problem.
We're drowning in tweets, posts, news... (way more than anyone can reasonably consume). So what rises to the top? The most dramatic, attention-grabbing claims. "I built in 1 hour what took a team months" gets 10k retweets. "I used AI to speed up a well-scoped prototype after weeks of architectural thinking" gets...crickets
Social platforms are optimized for engagement, not accuracy. The clarification thread will always get a fraction of the reach of the original hype. And the people posting know this.
The frustrating part is there's no easy fix. Calling it out (like this article does) get almost no attention. And the nuanced followup never catches up with the viral tweet.

Interesting approach... Initially I thought it was bit overkill but I found myself picking my phone when I have a site blocked on my laptop.
Happen more than I'm willing to admit, so I guess I will give a try

This is a bit random, but when I was an intern at CERN I spent a summer living in an old civil defense bunker near Geneva.
Short-term accommodation was notoriously expensive for students back then (probably even worse now), and I didn't hesitate when they offered me this unconventional housing opportunity.
The bunker had a decontamination zone, air filtering system, massive concrete doors, a large communal kitchen, and numerous small bunk beds. It was adequate for short-term use, but we encountered two main issues:
- It's remarkably easy to lose track of time without natural light cues
- Even with the air filering system wet clothes wouldn't dry properly inside
