Humans Play Chatbots in Viral Anti-AI Slop Game

“AI slop” has become shorthand for the cheap, low-quality text and images flooding online platforms, intensifying disputes over content moderation and creators’ rights. Your AI Slop Bores Me, built by programmer Mihir Maroju, turns that frustration into a social experiment: people impersonate large language models such as ChatGPT and Claude and answer strangers’ prompts. The parody matters because it replaces automation with unpredictable human exchange while showing how familiar chatbot conventions have become.

The website launched on March 2, 2026, pairing text and drawing requests with randomly selected human respondents. Players normally get 75 seconds to “larp as AI,” while a two-credit “thinking mode” extends the timer to 150 seconds. New users receive one credit; empty balances gain two credits every 10 minutes, capped at six. By March, the platform had recorded 50 million visits and about 16,000 concurrent users, demonstrating how an anti-AI joke quickly became a viral participatory game.
