A 17-year-old in Puducherry, India built a fake AI chatbot in March 2026. It’s a text box where real humans answer other real humans’ prompts while pretending to be AI. It went viral on Hacker News, hit 25 million unique visitors in a month, and is currently sitting at 50 million total hits.
The game is called Your AI Slop Bores Me. You either submit a prompt or “LARP as AI” (live action role play, pretend to be one) and answer someone else’s. The tagline: “Be an AI, answer prompts, trigger a RAM crisis.” A RAM crisis, per the game’s own lore, is what happens when you accidentally write something with actual personality and your robot brain overloads. The site even describes heavy typists as “SOTA (state of the art) LLMs outputting 1 million tokens.” The whole interface is written in character.
Merriam-Webster named “slop” its word of the year for 2025. The game is where that frustration went. When NPR’s reporter asked the site about pink pompoms, a stranger on the internet drew a response in 60 seconds. No model involved.
Have a good weekend. The queue is open.
