Description
Hey HN, I built this because the generational gap online is getting wider (and weirder). It’s an LLM-wrapper that translates "Boomer" (normal/corporate English) into "Brainrot" (Gen Alpha slang) and vice versa. It also has an "Image-to-Rot" feature that uses vision to describe uploaded images in slang. It’s mostly for fun, but actually kind of useful for deciphering what your younger cousins are saying. Would love to hear what you think!

Could you build this?
Yes It is a straightforward wrapper around an LLM API (OpenAI/Anthropic) using prompt engineering to translate text and vision input into slang.
