Very interesting idea, in general!
This isn’t for me, but thanks for sharing.
Alternatively go and find a nice railway bridge to stand under so you can shout loudly and hear your voice echo back at yourself. No code required, and it gets you out of the house. You might even meet an actual human on the way.
Well, here's what this human has to say: Maybe you just aren't the target audience.
Also, the typical misapplication of what introversion actually refers to..
It takes approximately zero effort to see how this could be both monetized and used for harm. This episode of Black Mirror is writing itself and congratulating itself in the comments.
I recently restricted comments on my blog or 15 years to existing subscribers only. It took me a while to accept that after removing the random spam, then the racist, misogynist, homophobic, and other lowlife commenters, I was left with 10-15% of discussions worth reading.
Pretty sad state of affairs, and it’s clear it’s degrading faster every day.
That being said, whatever I do I'm going to keep completely in-house, as in offline with local LLMs only, because privacy.

Then why not add the actual fictive audience through LLMs? That's how this was born. Feel free to leave your thoughts/feedback here.

You don't have to think LLMs are smart or real people to think of them as useful. I love it when I can make an idea clear enough in text that an LLM can completely regurgitate it and build upon it. I also love it when an LLM trips over and misses the one real novelty that I've slipped into something; what better for an originality test than trying to choke an automatic regurgitator?
Transistors have no understanding of what I'm doing, but somehow I still find them useful.

The purpose and utility of this seem obvious to me, but I can already see the stream of typical HN responses coming in.
Godspeed.

Okay, but I don't understand the benefit of writing to an entirely fictitious AI construct instead of writing to the ideal of the kind of reader you'd eventually like to have.
I mean, I get that it's frustrating to pour effort into writing something that effectively nobody reads (i.e. you never connect with a wider audience), but engaging with an entirely fictitious audience seems hollow to me.
