👋 Hello everyone, welcome to our very first Weekly Discussion thread!

This week, we're focusing on the applications of AI that you've found particularly noteworthy.

We're not just looking for headline-making AI applications. We're interested in the tools that have made a real difference in your day-to-day routine, or a unique AI feature that you've found useful. Have you discovered a new way to utilize ChatGPT? Perhaps Stable Diffusion or Midjourney has helped you generate an image that you're proud of?

Let's share our knowledge and learn more about the various applications of AI. Looking forward to your contributions.

Hey all, I have been putting together this little toy app recently that is arguably completely antithetical to "Actually Useful AI"... but I wanted to try and get some initial feedback anyways. It's a simple site where you query an obelisk for sage advice. That's it. It's here if anyone wants to try it, curious what you guys think: https://obelisk.space/. If there's a better place to post this, please let me know!

It wasn’t easy, but finally I could reverse-engineer its algorithm:

function ask(question) {
    return "…";
}

My original intention was that any query that does not begin with "O Obelisk" would fail (return "..."), but I've since realized how bad of a user experience that is... It now accepts any query shorter than 140 characters!

Oh, I see. Now it answered my JavaScript question.

Though the "..." also had its mysterious charm :)
