I enjoy watching the evolution of AI as I work more in the software engineer realm.

From the senior year of high school getting beta access to GPT3, watching it doing my little cousin's homework was a kind of cute to witnessing the release of GPT4 during my sophomore year was a blast.

Well… not all in a good way. Guess who was a TA for multiple different classes in college and had to grade everyone?

Keeping things short: we put in a lot of effort to make sure we could spot most common cheating. I knew from the start this wouldn’t be a cat-and-mouse chase. It is a high-level werewolf game lobby where everyone knows what they are doing.

Every action leads to a consensus: the risk of even one bad move will end either side in a matter of seconds. In a high-level game, everyone usually makes the best move in each situation, but one single mistake will take out both sides.

Voting out a cheater when there is a risk of calling out a real player has a high cost. Honestly, even the cost of trying to figure it out is too much, because at this level, it is just too hard to be 100% sure.


Let’s get started: A few days ago, I emailed Porkbun about a weird “bug” in their AI search.

Well, not really weird if it's doing what it’s intended to do, giving me search answers related to what I put in the search-bar.

I was seeing ‘hmm, maybe I can ask it a few questions,’ since I mean it’s allowing me to select models. So I wrote some random prompts trying to see if it could help me suggest some good domains

That was very nice now I can search domain names by prompt
