Ideas Weave Every Narrative with AI.
Most people think the value of a free shownotes generator lies in the AI technology behind it. They’re wrong. The real product is the feedback loop. By eliminating the painful, manual friction of summarizing audio and video content, builders create a Trojan horse for user insights. This isn’t about giving away free software; it’s about validating market demand before spending a dime on monetization.
Google’s AI Overviews are summarizing Reddit content so users never click through — which means Reddit has no reason to keep feeding Google the $60M-a-year data that makes those summaries smart. It’s a self-defeating loop, and it’s about to reshape who controls knowledge on the internet.
Every day, professionals write emails that are immediately summarized by AI before being read. The sender used AI to write, the receiver uses AI to read. The human is just a middleman. This is the real AI alignment problem: not rogue intelligence, but the voluntary outsourcing of human connection. We are building a world where nobody reads the original words anymore.
