(not sure where to post this…)
I had an idea there might be a TUI lib for typescript. A duckduckgo search came up with an article that described exactly what I wanted!
So of course I immediately searched for this fabled tui lib. A quick search didn’t reveal anything, and npm can’t seem to find it either! https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=Tui
Navigating directly to the npm package page reveals a 10 year old got repo with no actual code… (https://github.com/basarat/tui)
What the scuff is this world coming to?!
This seems to absolutely align with my experience of using LLMs
(Also accepting suggestions for typescript TUI libs that actually exist!)
I recently had the same experience. Go looking for software; find an article that describes a project in detail that does exactly what you asked for; project doesn’t exist; further investigation finds no reference to the software anywhere other than that article.
This has happened a couple of times to me; the tip-off is that there’s no link to the project in the article, although sometimes there’ll be a link to a domain owned by a squatter or something unrelated. Unless the article has a date and it’s from a decade ago, I chalk those up to AI as well. I’m certain there are thousands of abandoned projects and domains, deleted repos, and so forth, but I think increasingly the odds of AI shenanigans are pretty high in these cases.
