Recently, a website called "Absurd.website" has caught my attention. As its name suggests, this site is full of absurd and interesting small projects, many of which show the traces of AI-generated content. From smooth project posters to somewhat rough interface designs, all reveal the power of technology behind them. However, such brilliant creativity seems to hide considerable risks.
The website was founded in 2020 and releases a new project and a secret project available only to members each month, but so far it has only gathered 30 projects. Although these ideas are amusing, whether they can sustain development remains uncertain. We have selected a few interesting projects and share them with you.
The first one is the "Sexy Math" game. Participants just need to answer 10 multiplication questions correctly to unlock pictures of beautiful women. This has surprised many parents, who found that children's enthusiasm for learning multiplication has never been higher, even challenging themselves to improve their scores. Although there is a "disclaimer quiz," this game design has sparked a lot of controversy.
Next is the "Artist Death Effect Database." This project helps investors predict the potential for appreciation of artworks by analyzing the expected lifespan of artists. Although this idea of combining wealth and death seems cold, it is an interesting phenomenon in the investment world.
Another one is the "Find the Difference" game. Players need to find the differences between two identical photos, but in reality, there are no differences. The deeper meaning behind this is that social pressure often makes us lose our way in meaningless pursuits.
In addition, the website has launched many other bizarre projects, such as "Influencer Overnight Fame," where participants follow an Instagram account and randomly select a fan to take over the account; "Alien Guide to Life on Earth," providing practical tips for aliens living on Earth; and "Slow Delivery," challenging patience limits by delivering at least 100 kilometers per delivery.
