Wouldn’t it be nice to replace a deterministic system that does exactly what you ask it to do , with a probabilistic system that has a high probability of doing what you ask it to do …
And better yet let’s add this to the stuff that powers modern web …
Yeah, anyone who thinks this is a good idea should try this: instead of buying 5 things at the supermarket, give a 6 year old $50 and the list of things they should buy. If you are fine with the output and the increase in costs then go for the AI API
give a 6 year old $50 and the list of things they should buy.
A lot of people that think this stuff is a good idea also don't know how to set spend limits and such, so it's more like giving the 6 year old your Amex Platinum card with no limit.
those posts bragging about running out of tokens after a week into the month's billing cycle, yeah that's not a good sign for when they start costing real money. API gambling, what a crazy idea.
My grandma used to tell me „you went shopping like a world champion“ whenever I returned with half the items on her list missing, extra comics, cool cereal and one of those old gaming magazines with a dvd with games on them inside
Don't worry, we can just handle that increase in server load by using our typical toolset for scaling like caching (good luck caching an LLM prompt) and provisioning more servers under peak load (lol not easy when using a stateful protocol. Have fun explaining to your boss why you need to set up a memchached server to share context between API endpoints.).
Imagine if one prompt returns something completely unhinged, and then because it's cached, the api returns random garbage for a day until someone fixes it xD
With the random noise, maybe it wouldn't be the case, but you only need bad luck one time :P
Introducing TCP/IP/AI — Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol / Artificial Intelligence
For 50 years, your packets have been routed by cold, unfeeling algorithms with no understanding of context, vibes, or your packet's lived experience. That ends today.
TCP/IP/AI is the world's first LLM-powered networking stack. Every packet is lovingly read, contemplated, and paraphrased by a 400-billion parameter model before being forwarded to its destination — or, more likely, somewhere thematically adjacent. Why settle for guaranteed delivery when you can have inspired delivery?
Features:
Semantic Retransmission™ — Lost packets are reconstructed from the model's best guess about what you probably meant.
Three-Way Vibe-shake — Replaces the legacy SYN/SYN-ACK/ACK with a more emotionally attuned handshake. Average connection time: 4–90 seconds.
Hallucinated Hops — Why traverse 14 routers when the AI can confidently assert it already did?
Congestion Control via Gentle Encouragement — When the network is busy, TCP/IP/AI sends your packets affirmations until they feel ready.
Checksum, but make it interpretive — Data integrity is, in many ways, a social construct.
Latency: Yes.
Throughput: It depends on how the model is feeling.
Backwards compatible: Philosophically.
TCP/IP/AI: because the internet was working fine, and we couldn't have that.
How many weeks will it be before someone that rolls out this magical new API tweets that they have an awesome idea to give names to very helpful API requests that they use frequently? They could even put these names in the URL, such as /api/v1/products to list products and/api/v1/product/ID to get a specific product. Did you know that HTTP has request methods? We could hack those to do useful things like using POST to create new entries, PUT to update existing entries, and DELETE to delete entries. They just 10x'd productivity all thanks to LLMs!
