alt Hacker NewsI was excited about this idea, but based on the writing patterns and vague stories I'm pretty sure these writeups are mostly AI slop. For example, this is classic ChatGPT phrasing:
> The growth I’d been celebrating wasn’t real growth—it was just a spike of first-time buyers who never came back.
If I'm wrong, and these were actually written by a human, I'd love a chance to stand corrected and apologize.

Whether or not it's AI written, these very vague stories are not useful.

To find slop in this submission, you don't have to look any further than the very first picture.
I suspect they were developed (maybe AI-written) by a human, but the same human.
There's little variety in the way the stories are told.
I suspect that it will be tough to get folks to add to it, but it's not a bad idea.
One site I regularly visit, is Not Always Right[0]. I suspect that many of the stories are apocryphal, but it is entertaining.
I really miss the US Navy Safety Photo of the Day. That was a riot.
