It’s reminiscent of what are known as “unbranded pharmaceutical websites,” which focus on educating patients about conditions and symptoms without promoting a specific brand-name drug, which means the regulatory bar is far lower and you don’t need to include any safety info etc.
replyAn example would be a website creating awareness around a disease for which there is (or was at the time) only one or two treatments for, like ED, crohns, a specific type of cancer, etc. in fine print at the bottom will say “Pfizer” or “j&j” but no drugs are mentioned, just a call to “ask your doctor about possible treatments.”
(Not so) funny enough - I just did the same thing for https://gunsight.com complete with Claude generated interactive simulations for ballistics.
We are actually building radars, and are likely going to use the domain in the future, but with zero effort I transformed an otherwise parked domain into something with a minimal amount of utility.
So I do recognize the pattern.
replyI understand why you're doing it, but as a person who has to wade through dozens of these "minimal amount of utility" sites on almost every search, you're not making things better for the rest of us (or for the people who do hands-on ballistic testing that the LLM is just repeating without attribution).
replyHalf-broken visualizations look suspiciously like ones I get from LLMs, so who knows, maybe it's some LLM setting up their first blog?
