Product Positioning & Context
The Mac app started as a dumb question: can you use font ligatures to turn AI into 💩? Turns out yes. Ironically, I used AI to figure out how. The Chrome extension came after — web fonts don't always cooperate. So mostly this is me poking fun. It's also a small nudge to be a little more mindful of the din around AI. Starting, apparently, with your font files.

Community Voice & Feedback
the unintended consequence i'm thinking about is using this during a job interview or a client call where you're sharing your screen and forget it's on. has anyone shipped a 'disable for 30 minutes' button or is the chaos of forgetting it's installed kind of the point
The best thing that can happen for the current state we are in, thanks for making it. Soon to see AI language on the meat and chips in the stores...
This is funny, but the underlying point is actually fair. The word “AI” gets added to so many things now that a small reminder to focus on the actual outcome feels useful.
Hahaha 😂 Good one, Wells. You genuinely made me laugh. Literally every website would be riddled with 💩 now.
Amazing. Gave me a good laugh reading some AI news. Reminds be of "Cloud to Butt" in a good way. :-)
I can bet that LinkedIn would turn into a place full of shits :D
I'm a craftsperson, and I actually like AI. It's a tool, and a good one — I've made things with it I couldn't have otherwise. But it's polarized everyone. Some think it's salvation, some think it's the end of the world. It's neither... it's a tool.
The tool isn't the problem. People are. Fads, FOMO, and plain fear of the unknown make us act a little crazy... cramming AI into things nobody asked for because (they think) the word sells.
When that makes products worse, it's rarely some master plan. It's usually misaligned incentives and a lack of care. That's most of what enshittification actually is.
I don't think everything needs to be AI. Honestly, who cares about the tool? Focus on outcomes. Focus on your craft, and the joy of using and making things.
