Ask HN: I created a web browser using Claude, everybody hates it

4•roschdal•41m ago
I created a web browser, Northstar web browser, using Claude, Gemini and Chatgpt Codex, everybody hates it, insults me personally and calls it AI slop.

https://github.com/nordstjernen-web/northstar-browser

Does this mean that the AI coding services are a failure? Claude is a failure?

For better or worse, the online tech community on many social media sites is heavily against AI generated projects, and will usually be highly negative about them. If you're showing it off on Twitter, Reddit, Mastodon, Bluesky, etc, you'll basically get obliterated in the comments and quotes the second you mention AI has been used in any capacity.

Does that mean AI coding services are a failure? Not necessarily, they can help you make things more quickly.

But don't expect people to treat the output of said tools as a serious effort in the field, since the general attitude seems to be "why should I care about anything made using AI if I can just generate the same thing myself?"

That's an exaggeration. 2 minute search and I found positive feedback but I didn't see nobody calling with AI slop. e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48751910 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49017314 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49188235

Reddit in particular is very, very negative.
