Show HN: Instantly Create and Engage in AI-Generated Debates

[rtills]

In my work in EdTech, I see AI enhancing efficiency — speeding up grading or generating lesson plans. While useful, these applications don't fundamentally change how we learn.

To explore new possibilities, I've hacked together debdeb.io.

It allows users to create debates on any topic and immediately access both sides in text and audio formats. You can vote on debates and, if you sign-in, see what you've created.

I wanted to try introducing different modes (text and audio) into learning whilst having a fun way to learn critical thinking.

Try it out and share your thoughts.

Crazy! I was playing around with the exact same idea of having AIs debating each other and me learning from that by listening to their debates.

I used OpenTTS and Ollama for doing that (using locally installed models).

I'm now working on the Humankind Survival Challenge for getting AIs to discuss how humankind could survive the various crisis facing us.

The idea is to discover whether AIs have our best interests at heart or whether they have biases that favour their survival. SciFi stuff but also a kind of Turing test to ensure that AIs remain in their place!

This is very interesting - I like how you get access to both formats too.
