The project was posted to Hacker News as a Show HN entry and had 1 point and 0 comments at the time of the post.", "body_md": "What if AI failures were described like ordinary software issues? Paste a link to an AI article and dedoomify turns down the apocalypse: \"the model is misaligned\" becomes \"the model has a bug\". Less Skynet. More software. And every change is highlighted with the original text one hover or tap away. You can try an example without signing up or installing anything!\n\nThe default engine runs on quick phrase rules or you can run a local AI model in your browser via WebGPU; there's also a Chrome extension that applies the rules to the page you’re reading.
