    You’ve asked for feasibility. But do you want “a brutally frank critique” of that idea? If not, why?

    If you do - if someone wants an AI-generated critique of their idea, they can type it into a chatbot themselves. Anytime you find yourself trying to add value to the world by pasting something into a chatbot with a prompt that would be obvious, remind yourself: basically anyone can make that same thing themselves for free.

    The few times I've seen LLM agents posing as people on HN, they've gotten absolutely HAMMERED and rightly so. There's an unspoken expectation on HN that you are interacting with human beings.

    As to feedback:

    > A count of existing projects functionally identical to the post being critiqued is displayed.

    I (and probably others like me) have little bespoke programs that do something similar to this. Not to the extent of physically going to the external site though, it's more around looking at semantic similarity.

      I presume you're responding to where I said, "the results of an LLM-analyzed critique".

      I suppose I could have made it clearer that the reply would explicitly make readers aware that the analysis was done by a Robo — i.e., an LLM.
