Show HN: Am I replacable – a harness to help humans keep up with AI

A developer known as kumarshreyak has released an MVP called 'Am I replacable', a harness designed to help humans measure and improve their context-window intelligence against AI, addressing fears of being replaced and cognitive decline from reduced critical thinking. The tool currently focuses on context window abilities, with plans to expand to attention, memory, image, and video if the idea gains traction.

Realised 1. There is a growing fear around being replacable and ai making humans dumber since we dont have to critically think as much now. 2. It is incredibly valuable to see where you stand against AI, and improve yourself, so that you can become a better user(prompter) of AI.

Lead me to build this MVP. this only tries to capture the context window side of the intelligence we might be losing by using AI more and more. There are many other verticals (attention, long term / short term memory, image, video etc) which can be added too if this idea resonates with people, maybe even a full blown harness which has the sole goal of being for humans :)

Let me know what you guys think :) thanks! do reach out at kumarshreyak@gmail.com, to discuss if this resonated with you :D
