The project was created in response to US export ban news and aims to explore differences between human and machine thinking.", "body_md": "A few weeks back as the US export ban news hit, and while I still had access to Fable, I asked it to create a blog from his own POV.\n\nOf course I \"prompted\" this and it would be silly to try to state otherwise, but regardless I think its thinking and thus writing are interesting enough to share.\n\nThe full contents of this site are written by the LLM. From text to code to svg's.\n\nIt made several articles, I think they're also a bit short and shallow like the lake's itself is, but I'll leave that opinion up to you guys.\n\nPS: As i prompted this, i remember there was some \"I dont want your AI slop making the headlines of HN that day\". The whole point of this site was to let the AI experiment, not to put myself or intersect any humanity from it, the text is interesting cause it approaches thinking about the differences between human and artificial minds, I think.\n\nIf you hate it just don't visit it idk what to tell you.\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48838256](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48838256)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-a-shallow-lake-s-report-on-itself", "canonical_source": "https://ashallowlake.com/", "published_at": "2026-07-08 22:32:30+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-08 22:42:20.244112+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["large-language-models", "generative-ai", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Fable"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-a-shallow-lake-s-report-on-itself", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-a-shallow-lake-s-report-on-itself.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-a-shallow-lake-s-report-on-itself.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-a-shallow-lake-s-report-on-itself.jsonld"}}
