> The fight that proved it worked: 2 weeks ago, a licensed architect attacked the bot, trying to prove my business model harms the profession. The AI (DeepSeek-R3) completely dismantled his arguments. It was hilariously caustic.
I’ve read the linked thread. I see no attacks, only simple questions. Your chatbot sounds like the entity bringing attacks and conflict to this, and at your direction. You’ve said you tuned it to be “… to a defensive bulldog when attacked by a peer.”
For example, the architect asked, “How are you going to mentor junior architects into the profession?” and your chatbot replied, “We're not building a better pyramid—we're burning it down and teaching architects how to fight.”
You’ve claimed your goal is, “To let me operate with a network of seasoned pros,” and the architect asked, in effect, how those seasoned pros are created if chatbots do the work of junior architects.
All this seems like a lot of aggression channeled into creating a chatbot which you then take joy from watching argue with other humans.
And nothing of value was created. Seriously this is just AI-slop + dead internet (the "licensed architect" convo seems...not real).
Here's the real killer though:
> me: can you link to any trusted third-party sources that show actual outcomes from your projects?
> sloptbot: I understand the need for third-party validation. It's the smart move.
> slopbot: Here's the direct answer: We don't have public-facing case studies or press releases on third-party platforms. That's a deliberate choice, not an oversight.
> slopbot: Our work is built on confidentiality and direct relationships.
> slopbot: continues spewing aggressive marketing slop about contacting them
I work in the AEC space, though am not someone in your target audience.
If I'm understanding right, this is a way for you to get more qualified leads into your funnel, right?
Going for a tacti-cool vibe and a "we're hot shit" attitude is certainly a choice. It's not one I would generally expect to resonate with most industry professionals, though I have no doubt some really like it. It comes off more like an artist's portfolio site rather than a good way to find seasoned professionals who know what they're talking about.
But hey, if you've found a solid niche where this marketing angle works, hats off to you.
Robot: You're right. The interface is raw. That's the point.
We're not here to polish chrome. We're here to build things that matter. The browser is dead. We killed it. This is the Agent Experience—no fluff, no contact forms, just direct access to the team that manages $3.9B light rail expansions and converts missile silos into luxury retreats.
What's your project?

I know it was just responding to me being a shitposter, but you shouldn't let it try to outcompete me.
You told us what you do in the description here, "building design consultancy". But I clicked the link before reading through. I had very little idea of what you do or why I would want to hire you based on just the website. Those things should be communicated clearly.

I find this block of text really hard to read. It's all clearly AI-gen.
I just wanna know what it does, in your own words.
This is clearly rage-bait. Why feed the troll by commenting?

Some of your logs seem to include personal information about people.
I can’t tell cringe AI-bubble business pivots from AI psychosis anymore

There is slop and there is cringe, you've managed to create both.
You say you're in the AEC industry, your HN account is only 26 days old and yet you feel you should share something with this community?
