A Generative AI Encyclopedia

Hacker News

Since ChatGPT became popular, I've been wondering: what would an LLM-powered app that's not chat-centric look like ? Would an encyclopedia that's almost entirely generated on-the-fly be any good? Can we use AI hyper links to replace most of the typing? Since I haven't found anything close to what I had in mind, I decided to give it a try and see for myself. WikiGen.ai is a website that's almost entirely generated by AI, with a few contextual tools to assist users with readability levels, explanations, and fact checking. (Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MG0CpSE0cFI ) I actually liked the end result of this experiment, which feels like a nice break from all the typing in typical AI apps (including similar sites like Perplexity). So I thought of sharing it with you all and get your take on it. If there's enough interest, the next step up would be to optimize the site for mobile devices, incorporate more media and, naturally, external grounding sources for better accuracy.
