Your AI Slop Bores Me Lets Humans Mimic Chatbots in 150 Seconds

2 articles · Updated · The Verge · Aug 15

Summary

  • 150 seconds is all players get on Your AI Slop Bores Me to answer text or image prompts while pretending to be an AI, turning both sides of the exchange into a human-run joke.
  • The browser game uses a credit system that charges for requests, pays users for taking the "AI" side, and grants one free prompt every two minutes.
  • Its appeal comes from the constraints: players can skip bad prompts, draw with a bare-bones MS-Paint-style tool, and try to sustain the illusion through awkward jokes or rough images.
  • A Discord server and Hall of Fame extend the gag beyond each round, even as the report notes the site’s ads can feel heavy-handed.
