gigs
get a short-lived illusion of finally overcoming procrastination for good
solving procrastination was a very 2010s issue and already feels kinda outdated with AI getting better, but of course you can also greatly procrastinate on writing prompts you know you need to write. I’m an expert in overcoming procrastination because I’ve done it thousands of times. tbh you get a bit cynical over time since now when some clever new trick seems to work I no longer even believe that this is the endlösung for my discipline and motivation issues since I know it won’t be. will this gig work for you? well, no. but at least I only procrastinated a handful of times creating it. and I actually finished it lol
develop your own “you will…” trolliverr gig title & troll images
oh you found it - the very first trolliverr gig! now when I write this description it’s two weeks since I created it and it already feels kinda ancient. fill-in-the-gaps? haha, I never used them again so far. selecting between four different paths was also a nightmare developing. lots of small stuff is kinda messy, but I eventually decided to just leave it like it is (not because of my laziness of course) so you can see where evolution led us into the boring streamlined corporate schmuck trolliverr probably has become today. here I still had, well maybe not ideals, but at least some vague cool vision not entirely based on my last acid trip and cocaine addiction
create the trolliest gig fiverr has ever seen
when you go to typical freelancer platforms like upwork or freelancer.com they are a nightmare for (new) freelancers because you’ve to propose again and again for stupid projects with terrible clients and this feels like a total waste of time because it rarely works and you’ve to do this instead of working on the stuff you’re actually good at. so I actually liked the approach of fiverr with their pre-defined gigs which flips the script so that the clients come to you. very introvert-friendly. so I tried it out and basically only got a dozen new scam DMs every day asking for my mail address. fiverr is broken and with AI I don’t see it making a comeback. but - as you can see here - I really liked the gig idea, so this is my homage for that inspiration
enjoy impostor syndrome by imitating great tweets
the thing about greatness is that if you imitate greatness it’s often still kinda good, which makes imitation a clever strategy as long as not everyone is doing it (which they do). if you tell an AI “write me some clever tweets” they won’t be clever and they’ll sound like AI slop. but if you find some great tweets by others (or have written them yourself) and then create other versions of them with AI, they are often quite cool and don’t sound like AI. it’s the lazy man’s way of passing as human and still getting some of those nice dopamine kicks social media so kindly offers to us
re-use your boring photo as a slightly less boring ad
complaining about AI slop is snobby. I mean yeah I get it - AI writing sounds mediocre & repetitive and it's also an outrage that others think they could deceive us with this shit and we wouldn't notice. but creating images of kids toys designed by salvador dali is kinda nice. and enhancing your own shitty images to make them suck a bit less because you put drag hitler in there is actually quite funny (just kidding, the models won't play along with that example. maybe grok). and if you're a company doing something that's fun you might either be on the path to the dark side and / or have something you can use for making your marketing more retarded, er, effective
predict how AI is gonna terminate your employer
there's so much hype around AI taking all of your jobs (it can't take mine since what job lol). so I thought I do that as well. but better. and retardeder. actually it's even boring focusing on a job because the banal answer is "AI is doing what I were doing in a day in a few sec for a few cents". yeah we got that. but how is AI also putting your employer out of business as well? let's find out
write a tweet so clever you can later jerk off to it
what would nietzsche do if he lived today? he'd probably be a fellow shitposter on twitter. nobody reads new philosophy books anymore and he would be too proud to have a youporn podcast. but between all the mindless slop (from humans and non-humans), there are still many pearls on X. now how about you dare to take part in that?
procrastinate heavily on writing boring trolliverr gig stuff
oh it's so meta that I kinda struggle with writing the description for this description-creation gig. the thing is - as long as the AI doesn't have enough good examples of how I want descriptions, it just does its usual slop and hence is useless. but yeah, we almost made it. I mean this is just for doing meta trolliverr stuff you won't ever need, combined with ridiculous stuff in between. yeah I guess that's long enough. bye!
disrupt the trolliverr economy with a low-effort gig title and image
in a way trolliverr is an experiment to see how lazy I can effectively be. which works pretty bad so far since the effort to get this whole project started was very lazy-hostile. anyways, this gig is for developing new gig titles & images in a fast & lazy way, so that I then add them to the endless list of 'stuff I'm eventually creating'
build a trolliverr gig title that your parents will never understand or be proud of
originally I planned on having tons of milestones, but I eventually realized very long complex gigs are a nightmare to develop & test and so the newer gigs are probably not as long as the fucking fiverr gig was. yeah, where was I? oh yeah - this here is the first milestone (and while I write this also the only one). it's focused on doing one part of a bigger gig, here the creation of new gig titles for trolliverr
use AI to craft a thumbnail so trolliverr-ish that fiverr might actually ban you
it doesn’t really matter how your fiverr thumbnail looks, since this platform is dying either way and if you’re just getting started, you’ll only attract spammers. but if it doesn’t matter, why not use a nice troll thumbnail representing the core message of your gig and shit. wouldn’t you love to see thumbnails by others with the troll in them, knowing where they got it from and already liking whatever stupid gig they are offering? so be that person yourself, helping to make the world into a trollier place
vomit out a trolliverr gig description so fast your keyboard smokes
you know, writing these descriptions is one of the tasks in developing trolliverr which works least well using AI. I mean AI does create descriptions, but they suck, so in the end I’ve to write them myself. AI-writing is bad enough when it mimics professionalism, but when it tries to be funny and edgy it’s a completely different level of awful. so this gig doesn’t really work so well for the gig descriptions themselves tbh, though it’s useful for the “useful for” stuff and creating the bubble images. and you can see what the AI does with having all my other descriptions as its training reference
distill your complex worldview into a single line that sounds way smarter than you
oneliners (if it’s really spelled ‘one liners’ like google docs suggests to me, I must say it just looks better as one word and in doubt elegance wins - or at least my german autism) are in a way the modern form of clever aphorisms. oscar wilde would write oneliners on twitter, as would nietzsche. not in some big boring books, that was just the media of the time. it’s an art to create a great oneliner, because it has to be both insightful and funny. kinda like standup comedy, though comedians don’t seem to be the best shitposters. yeah anyway; I think I wrote enough. this description would’ve been better if it were just an oneliner
farm impressions by remixing viral tweets until the original author blocks you
the holy grail of laziness on social media is imitating viral stuff that works. you can recognize that by seeing what the algorithm shows you. if you like one of those posts, you can put them into this gig and get variations of it, some of which might look clever enough that you can post them yourself. it’s weird though when the original poster sees your tweets because they know what you did, but along the way you might’ve collected some followers and likes, so that doesn’t really matter, right?
draft a post-AI-mortem for a company that hasn't failed yet
oh it’s so much fun making AI-predictions because nobody knows shit and so you’re as good as anyone. did you know that AI will eat all puppies because it needs their souls for its data centers? I know it’s hard to believe, but the singularity is weird. so yeah, here we’re doing an analysis how AI is gonna kill a specific company, which will definitely be exactly as it happens since it’s based on my clever ideas. muahahahaha…
make your boring photo into a trolliverr ad
in the free version of gemini you can currently generate two images in nano banana pro per day and you should definitely use those to create two versions of a trolliverr ad because. oh did I forget to finish the previous sentence? you can take whatever shitty photo you made with your phone and then have the troll and the trolliverr logo and whatever stupid slogan I put in the gem on it! doesn’t that sound? oh, I did it again. ooopsie
upgrade your photo into trolliverr propaganda
it’s funny that when you tell AI to create a propaganda poster, it usually looks like soviet propaganda, sometimes even with red flags and workers and stuff. I mean propaganda is a pretty broad term, why then does AI automatically associate it with communism? yeah anyway, here you have the opportunity of your lifetime to generate real trolliverr propaganda to support our big revolution for absurd nihilism. I rely on you, comrade!
Frequently Asked Questions (PAQ)
- why do I have to manually copy & paste stuff into an AI? couldn't you create a wrapper like every normal vibe coder? are u dumb?
- tokens cost money, mkay. so if I had a wrapper I would need to charge you for using this site, which would make it super complicated with access permissions, pricing calculation and I would permanently need to update it with each new AI model on the market. so you just paste it into your own favorite model instead, which makes my site kinda timeless (it gets even better with each new AI generation). also did I mention that I'm lazy?
- I'm kinda bothered by having so much money. how can I give it to you?
- click the “buy me a beer” button. it's actually a scam so that I get your email address which I will use to shamelessly promote my new insane services and relaunches I'm gonna publish eventually (future-me isn't as lazy as me, you know), but I also made a deal with the devil for you getting some karma points the more you pay me, so see it as a smart investment
- are u like an indian scammer?
- nope, I'm german, which means I love rules and orderliness and have a little ick of wanting to gain world domination eventually. like my fellow germanians I'm kinda insane (the funny kind) and a bit retarted. I can't help it but I have no talent whatsoever for scamming. unfortunately, I'm just not psychopathic enough
- where is like all the GDPR compliant stuff? where is my cookie notification?
- oh no - I forgot about that shit! thanks for reminding me. actually, I kept this site so simple that it doesn't even have a backend (yet) and no tracking & analytics (yet), so I don't even save whatever weird stuff you're putting into my methods and thus I give myself permission to say a silent “fuck you” to our friends in brussels with their weird regulation fetish (for now)
- what's your 20 year vision for trolliverr?
- thanks for asking! I don't know.
- I would love to be best friends with you
- yeah about that - I don't have any friends yet. seems like a lot of effort tbh. but you can follow me on X and thus get the illusion that we're like somehow connected ON THE INTERNET, which is a full substitute for actual analogue friendship, right?
- what's your favorite ice cream flavor?
- mango. I fucking hate anything with chocolate
- why is there no dark mode?
- I actually thought about a gay mode using lots of pink and terrible contrast colors like yellow so that it's an additional challenge to read. but that's a worthwhile project for future-me
- can I use this for my highly confidential corporate data that I'm definitely not supposed to share?
- sure, I see no problem in that. I'm an anonymous troll, so you can definitely trust me
- can I buy Trolliverr? I lately found a few billion dollars in my basement
- not sure what would be the point of that, but yeah – I like money. we'll figure something out
- why don't you have a "pro" version with a shiny gold badge so I can feel superior to others?
- oh what a great idea, I never thought about that. how do you like the name “Trolliverr Teuer”?
- if I "gift you a beer", do I get a tax-deductible receipt, or are we both going to jail?
- what's a tax? sounds like some new scam. I'm gonna pass on that
- are you planning on pivoting to web3 or some other buzzword once this AI hype dies down?
- yeah sure, you can certainly buy me a NFT beer with your shitcoins
- where's the contact form? I wanna write you to tell you about my shitty business which would need a personal trolliverr gig
- the only way to gain my attention is buying me a beer. there's a message field included. filters out all the cheap people I don't wanna do business with anyway. I can build stuff for you since I like money, but I'm not cheap and I don't waste my time with stupid requests. make me an offer I can't refuse
- who are you?
- my name is troll, count troll
- why aren't there more gigs? that's kinda a joke with all these filters and categories
- see it as a little teaser for what's to come. so it's probably a good idea to come back once in a while checking out what new stupid gigs you can waste your time on
- why don't you create n8n automations or something with agents? this seems unnecessarily manual and almost analogue here
- you know, I'm kinda a heretic on this one. don't get me wrong - as a pre-success (lol) entrepreneur I love AI. I still find it ridiculous that I'm able to create a site like trolliverr all by myself. it's amazing. but AI is also slop, even the best models. it has always strong AI-ish patterns you just can't get fully rid of and if you fully automate a workflow through AI, you will get slop. I mean that's fine for a lot of applications which had been slop before, be it corporate communication & marketing or SEO-optimized “newsletters”. now they're AI slop, but who cares. the thing people get wrong about automation is that for automations to work you need 100 % predictability, which AI can't offer because it works with probability. classic computer code is deterministic and thus perfect for creating automations. AI isn't. so people telling you that AI is perfect for automation haven't really thought this through imo. you can 90-95 % automate something (maybe), but for the last 10 % you need to apply your own taste, ideas and judgment. yeah, n8n offers human-in-the-loop options, but they are awful and no fun. trolliverr is actually combining six things: 1) AI in general 2) great prompts and references in organized gems 3) kinda SaaS-ish functionalities within the gigs, i.e. using classical determined computer code to go through steps in which code is better than AI 4) structured workflows for specific tasks 5) human input & taste 6) fun to decrease procrastination. to make some gigs more powerful I create “scaling” versions which you can find in the referenced gigs within the gig
- what is it about your stupid language? that's not even full gen z lower case vibe
- yeah, it's kinda my own style. I like the vibe of lower case, it's a bit rebel-ish and fun. but it feels wrong for “I” and for acronyms like “AI”, so I write them in upper case. also, I don't like using dots at the end of bullet points or chats. the good thing for you is that AI is unable to write in my style - it's either “correct” grammar or all lower case without exceptions. so I write my “content” myself (also because I like writing, especially absurd, stupid shit like here)
