A new Chrome Extension literally replaces 'AI' with 💩. It's hilarious, but the underlying roast of the tech industry's forced AI trend is brutally honest.
Sick of seeing "AI" slapped onto every single app like cheap bumper stickers? Take a breath, because a legend just dropped a troll tool that turns the tech industry’s biggest buzzword into literal crap.
TL;DR for my busy devs: Enter "Enshittifier," a Chrome extension with one glorious purpose—it replaces the word "AI" anywhere on the web with the 💩 emoji.
It started as a goofy Mac app experiment. The dev wondered if they could use font ligatures to turn AI into poop. Spoiler: You can. The absolute best part of this joke? The creator actually used AI tools to figure out how to code it. Because web fonts can be finicky and sometimes crash the party, it was ported into a Chrome extension. The dev admits it’s mostly just poking fun, but it’s also a much-needed nudge to stop the deafening, mindless noise surrounding artificial intelligence.
The Product Hunt community absolutely ate this up. Here’s how the combat unfolded:
It’s a top-tier meme, but the underlying message hits way too close to home. Stop forcing AI into everything just for the VC funding or marketing hype.
If your core app is full of bugs, eats RAM like Chrome on steroids, and has a garbage UX, slapping an OpenAI API wrapper on it won't save you. Focus on actual outcomes, fix the damn bugs, and deliver a smooth experience. A turd with RGB lighting is still a turd. Build things that actually solve user pain points, and leave the buzzword bingo to the marketing guys.
