New online game has people pretend to be AI chatbots for laughs
An online project called "Your AI Slop Bores Me" lets users submit text or image requests while another real person has 150 seconds to answer while pretending to be an AI. The site runs on a credit system that mimics how real language models operate.
A quirky web project called "Your AI Slop Bores Me" has built a simple but clever concept around one gimmick: getting real people to pretend they're artificial intelligence chatbots. The site has two tabs — on one, a user submits a request; on the other, a different participant plays the role of the AI and tries to answer it.
Requests can be made as either text or image prompts. Whoever is currently roleplaying as the AI has only 150 seconds to respond. For image requests, the site offers a bare-bones, MS-Paint-like drawing tool, which makes the tight time limit especially punishing — particularly when someone asks for a drawing of an obscure anime character.
A credit-based system
Much like a real large language model, the site runs on a kind of token system. Submitting a request costs credits, which users can earn by answering as the "AI" for someone else. Alternatively, users can simply wait, since everyone receives one free request every two minutes.
According to the write-up, the real fun isn't in submitting requests but in trying to convincingly imitate an AI while working within the tool's tight constraints. Users who don't like a particular request are free to skip it.
The project also has its own Discord server and a "Hall of Fame" showcasing standout submissions, including a notably impressive rendition of Vincent van Gogh's "The Starry Night." The one downside noted is that the site's ads are somewhat intrusive.
