Hey! Honestly didn't expect this to hit the HN top, I've already maxed out all my token limits! If you enjoyed wasting time here, there's a Buy Me A Coffee link in the footer. Thanks for the incredible response! This is why I really love building weird useless stuff for the internet.

UPD: You guys are incredibly creative! 15000 products generated and counting. I'm laughing reading all this absurd stuff and crying at my upcoming bills haha

I'm having a lot of fun with this. I threw you a few bucks to cover my usage a few times over.

ETA:

I would encourage anyone here to throw a buck or two towards the creator. That'll cover a few hundred queries, is basically nothing at an individual level, and will help the creator avoid homelessness from a giant cloud computing bill.

I am disappointed that the top voted comments are so supportive towards yet more generation of AI slop. Sites like this are making accurate search results by people for real world products that exist harder to get in front of the eyeballs that are looking for them. Sure, you might get a few minutes of lolz, but the misinformation seeps into search engines and then product reviews. It's the toxic waste that keeps on giving limited only by the cost of token streams.

You'll be surprised how quickly Google determined the usefulness of the site and practically removed it from the search results, and it was absolutely right to do so

I mean, when the site first came out, Google started to show product pages and impressions started to grow, but after a couple of weeks they dropped completely to zero and the pages were excluded from search index, and I don't see anything changing, only some pages got into the index, mainly because of links referring to the site. Well, there are almost 100k products here now and I hope this collective unconscious never gets into search results
