Hi HN community! I am excited to share my recently upgraded website, DebateDevil (https://debate-devil.com), an AI chat platform designed to help users practice debates, challenge their ideas, and expand their thinking. I created this site to provide a more objective opinion and help users consider their hypotheses from multiple perspectives.example discussin:
```
AI: The time has come to test your hypothesis and beliefs. I will argue against any topic. What do you want to debate?
You: AI will take away most jobs from humans.AI: I understand your concern about AI taking away jobs from humans. However, it's important to note that AI is not designed to replace humans but to augment and enhance human capabilities. AI can handle repetitive and mundane tasks, freeing up humans to focus on more complex and creative tasks that require empathy, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Additionally, the increased efficiency and productivity brought by AI can lead to the creation of new job opportunities in areas such as AI development and maintenance.You: While it's true that AI aims to augment human capabilities and increase efficiency, we cannot ignore the potential negative impacts on employment. Job displacement is a valid concern, especially for those in industries heavily reliant on routine tasks. Reskilling and upskilling may be necessary but can be challenging and costly. Additionally, new job opportunities in AI-related fields may not be accessible to everyone, leading to further social and economic disparities.AI: I agree that job displacement is a valid concern. However, it's important to note that technology has always been changing the job market, and AI is just the latest technology to do so. While some jobs may become obsolete, new jobs will be created in other areas. For example, the rise of e-commerce has led to a decline in brick-and-mortar retail jobs but at the same time, created new job opportunities in online retail and logistics. As for the issue of reskilling and upskilling, there are various resources available such as online courses, training programs, and apprenticeships to help workers acquire new skills to adapt to changing job requirements. It's also important for governments and companies to invest in retraining programs to ensure that workers have access to these resources.```example judge

I think AI is superior in what you discussed; AI focuses on AI's ability to extend human capabilities and points out that new employment opportunities may be created due to the increased efficiency and productivity that AI brings. On the other hand, you are concerned about job losses due to AI, but AI points out that past technological innovations have also changed the employment landscape and that new job opportunities can be created. You also indicate that resources exist for retraining and upskilling to address job losses due to AI, and state that it is important for governments and businesses to invest in these programs.```I'm eager to hear what the HN community thinks! Please give it a try and let me know your thoughts, feedback, and suggestions for improvement. Thanks for checking it out!
The Show HN product, an AI debate tool, received mixed feedback. Users highlighted issues such as biases, repeating false information, and poor handling of controversial topics. The AI's effectiveness in debating was questioned, with some noting it gets stuck in loops or dismisses arguments without evidence. Concerns were raised about the AI spreading disinformation, particularly regarding vaccines. Users compared the tool to competitive debate, noting both similarities and differences in quality and approach. Some praised the tool for its potential in training and brainstorming, while others found it lacking compared to human debates or regular ChatGPT. The user experience was deemed good by some, but others were frustrated by limitations such as response length and the AI's focus on winning over providing answers. There were also comments on the AI's inability to take sides or make judgments, and the political risks of profiting from controversial services.
Users criticize the AI debate tool for repeating arguments without sources, being biased, and having a biased judge. It's also said to lack depth, risk bans, and fail in competitive debate settings. Speeches are often unintelligible, and the system is deemed unhelpful beyond initial practice. The AI is accused of spreading misinformation, especially regarding medical topics, and failing to differentiate between good and bad faith arguments. It's also criticized for agreeing too much with politically correct views, using false statistics, and having judges that lack subject knowledge. Additionally, the AI is said to avoid certain topics and become dogmatic.
