Most web utility sites are going to die soon

When I wanted to decode JWT or format the JSON that I got from the system, I searched for those tools in Google. I'd choose one from the top results and use it. But every time, I felt like this was wrong. What if they intercepted my JWT? What if they saved my JSON? Those files sometimes could have personal information or even worse, actual access to the system.

My laziness won over my guilt every time, but not anymore. AI can generate those tools easily. I just built one for myself (took a couple of hours to perfect it). You can use mine, build from mine, or you can even generate your own from scratch. Those web utilities out there are security risks. Don't use them. They will be dead soon.
