Take AI’s Job in a New Browser Game

Mihir Maroju’s your ai slop bores me is a browser game that asks players to take AI’s job. Connected to thousands of users seeking art, answers and inspiration, you must “larp as AI” and deliver written or drawn replies with only 60 seconds on the clock. Each answer earns a token you can spend on requests from others.

Players send curiosities—music recommendations or whether leftover chili is still safe to consume—into the void; it’s about as productive as hitting up a language learning model trained off Reddit posts. The game has become a weekend phenomenon, and the server can get strained; if the “larp” tab fails to connect, try switching between it and the “human” one.

I’ve asked where air comes from (“the sky”) and been asked what I think of Genshin Impact’s Arlecchino (having a streak of black hair like that must feel like that one annoying fiber from your scarf refusing to go away no matter how hard you blow at it). The project also highlights how many AI services actually function.
