This is an unhealthy amount of rage to feel about a random person doing something random on the internet

It's not a random person doing something random though. It's bait leveraging two very hot brands (Fable! Harry Potter!) and gluing them together with the the most clichéed, of-the-moment ad copy prose style. I don't hate the project or the brands particularly, but you have to be living under a rock not to be aware that social media is absolutely awash in this sort of content.

You've always wondered what would happen if Thing You Like had existed alongside Other Thing You Like. They called you crazy. They told you it could never happen.

They were wrong.

For the first time, Thing and Other Thing together - just like you imagined. It's not fiction. It's not a dream. It's real, and you can have it now - today. Thing Other Thing. Experience the magic with 40% off your first month's subscription if you sign up in the next 20 minutes.

I don't feel as activated about it as OP, but only because I've already opted myself out of this media landscape as much as possible. I think it's perfectly natural to be hostile towards such overt hijacking of one's limbic system. Modern marketing is incredibly toxic.

I don’t think it’s about this single random person, but the larger trend it represents. It’s everywhere now, and it shows a general lack of care and craft.

It’s certainly not new. These sorts of “look at me” slop projects existed long before modern LLMs

It might not be a productive emotion, but I think it's completely normal to be experiencing it.

I enjoyed the unfiltered rage, it probably felt good to type.

It did!

Those who did not lose their minds because they were talked into by AI lost their minds because AI was so grating and ubiquitous.

I really don't think this project was meant to be taken seriously.

You doing okay man?

Facts, but also are we at all surprised that a harry potter fan is Like This? I knew just from the title that this would be vibe-coded dogshit.

Take a walk outside bro.

What if I told you I typed this while on a walk outside?

Both of you are right of course

It’s interesting that you can’t seem to process the content itself but (hyper)focus on the presentation and not just in general, but also the presentation of the least interesting part of this project, the F’ing README.

Then you proceed to loudly inform us of this discovery of yours, while being very negative, forcefully directing everyone’s attention towards unproductive and irrelevant angles.

I’m trying not to be too judgmental but man, you remind me of a couple of colleagues.

Also the reverse AI psychosis hatefulness is getting tiring.
