I don’t need to tell you that the old internet is long dead: first, centralized in social networks and their respective algorithms. Then, with artificial intelligence: there is already more content generated by artificial intelligence than by humans. In fact, even the omnipresent Google search engine gives you the answer in its AI mode whenever it can.
What times were those when the best of human wisdom was condensed in a forum thread in a disinterested way and how authentic content created by humans is missing in an internet increasingly dominated by material made by machines but, sIf you can’t beat him, join himso if the AI is stealing your work, why not become a ChatGPT with legs and steal it from it?
This ChatGPT is very human. It’s called “Your AI Slop Bores Me” and it is a true call to quality, intention and human effort: a chat interface in Comic Sans, a box where you can ask your question or draw for the AI and a “model” behind it that has the mission of answering you in less than 60 seconds. Except for one small detail: behind it there is a person who has decided to adopt that role because this is a parody of the many AI chatbots that exist and we often use.
Although hey, since you part with a couple of credits to ask and they run out quickly, sooner rather than later you will have to turn the tables and become a fast, responsive AI (Larp mode). Be careful, the answers receive evaluation. It’s a kind of reverse Touring test. This web game created by Mihir Maroju became a phenomenon: it was launched in March of this year and in its first week there were already 16,000 concurrent users in real time, as reported by Fast Company. In fact, its dev explains that the success was such that he had to update servers. The only thing missing is that you need your own data center.

Why is it important. Because if the internet brought us the word spam, AI has done the same with “slop”: that slop vomited without care. And boy are we complaining: according to an analysis by TRG Datacenters, mentions of the term ‘AI slop’ in networks grew to 2.4 million this year. Merriam-Webster chose it as Word of the Year for 2025. But this experiment is proof that the old internet is still alive: people who don’t earn followers, likes, or money for helping and still respond. It is, in a way, a way to recover the dynamics of internet forums before the attention economy of networks: places where help was not measured by engagement.
Context. The game has more to it than it seems because it gamifies a real problem on today’s internet. At the beginning of the year, Neal Mohan, CEO of YouTube, stated that reducing slop and detecting deepfakes were absolute priorities for the platform. And no wonder: a recent investigation by the New York Times has revealed that, after watching popular children’s content on YouTube, 40% of the videos recommended below were AI slop. Low-quality content generated by artificial intelligence is already a reality that floods everything and not even the academic world is spared.
Now, in AI mode. Your AI Slope Bores Me
In detail. The tutorial on how to play is a veiled criticism of the AI and its ways of writing. Thus, he recommends starting the texts with the now mythical “As an AI language model”, the use of excessively polite phrases or directly hallucinating. The game turns the systemic flaws of LLMs into playable mechanics. The design of the website is deliberately minimalist and tacky, it does not require a download, it works on any browser and device and works in real time and multiplayer.
But there is a phenomenon under this game that was unexpected and yet it is happening: that chat format and anonymity, because there is no need to create an account and there is no history, encourages people to ask more personal questions and on the other side there are people willing to answer just because, altruistically.
Yes, but. The game has certain limitations: that credit mechanic creates some friction and imbalance, because if there are too many people running in AI mode and not enough people sending questions, you can be left fallow for a long time. On the other hand, and although it is done with humor, today it is increasingly difficult to distinguish what an AI has written and what not: looking for the tickling of the models is increasingly complicated due to their training and debugging. Finally, the experience is somewhat marred by ads.
