Meet CK (The CrapKiller)
Former AI engineer turned full-time BS detector. I quit my job to test AI tools for weeks so you don't waste money on marketing hype.
My Origin Story
Hey there! I'm CK, and I used to be one of those AI engineers building "revolutionary" tools. Spent 5 years in the trenches at various startups, working on everything from NLP models to computer vision systems.
But here's the thing that drove me absolutely insane: 95% of the AI tools I saw launched were pure marketing BS. Companies would slap "AI-powered" on the most basic features and charge premium prices for glorified templates.
The breaking point? I watched a tool get $50 million in funding for what was essentially a wrapper around OpenAI's API with some fancy UI. Meanwhile, genuinely useful tools built by passionate developers were getting ignored because they didn't have flashy marketing.
So I said "screw it" and quit my job. Someone needs to fight this BS, and that someone is me.
My Mission: Fighting AI Tool BS
🥊 What I Fight Against
- ▸Overhyped tools that promise the moon and deliver rocks
- ▸Marketing claims that have zero basis in reality
- ▸Companies charging premium for basic features
- ▸Fake reviews and astroturfed communities
✅ What I Fight For
- ▸Honest reviews based on weeks of real testing
- ▸Protecting users from wasting money on garbage
- ▸Highlighting genuinely useful tools that work
- ▸Building a community that values truth over hype
How I Actually Test Tools
Minimum 2 Weeks Testing
I don't do 30-minute "reviews." Every tool gets at least 2 weeks of real-world usage before I even think about writing anything.
Real Projects Only
No artificial test scenarios. I use tools for actual projects, with real deadlines and real consequences if they fail.
Data-Driven Analysis
I track everything: response times, accuracy rates, failure modes, cost per use. Numbers don't lie, marketing does.
The Numbers Don't Lie
My Promise to You
I'll never take money from tool companies for positive reviews. I'll never sugar-coat problems or hide limitations. If a tool sucks, I'll tell you exactly why. If it's great, I'll tell you exactly how to get the most out of it.
