tl;dr: CrankGPT is a satirical "human-powered" AI product pitch that mocks the AI industry's energy consumption, privacy issues, and wealth concentration. The premise: a hand-cranked (or pedal-powered for "power users") device that generates tokens locally via physical effort, addressing climate concerns, data privacy, tech CEO enrichment, and fitness all at once. It's a tongue-in-cheek critique framed as a product page, complete with "request a demo" call-to-action. | |
