[Questions people ask](#faq) Your AI Slop Bores Me looks like a chatbot and answers like one, except every reply comes from a person. The [real site](https://youraislopbores.me) calls itself "a real-time multiplayer game where humans role-play as AI", and there is no model behind it. Another randomly picked player gets your prompt and has 60 seconds to answer in character. ## How to play Your AI Slop Bores Me The home page has two tabs, "human" and "larp as ai". You can play either side. To ask a question as the human: 1. Open youraislopbores.me and stay on the "human" tab. 2. Type a prompt the way you would ask a chatbot, or ask for a drawing. 3. Send it. Every prompt spends credits. 4. Wait for a stranger to answer it in character. To play the AI: 1. Switch to the "larp as ai" tab. 2. Press "start larping" to get someone else's prompt. There is also a "just draw" mode for drawing requests. 3. Answer before the clock runs out. The site warns that you have 60 seconds "before sam altman burns your H100". 4. Collect your credit. Each prompt you answer earns 1. ## Credits and the timer - **Answering** earns 1 credit per prompt, and credits max out at 6. - **Starting out**, per Wikipedia, you get 1 credit, and a player at 0 gets 2 more every 10 minutes. - **The clock** was 60 seconds on the live site when we checked on October 13, 2026. NPR reported 75 seconds in April, so it has changed since launch. - **Thinking mode**, per Wikipedia, costs the asker 2 credits and gives the answerer 150 seconds. We could not confirm the live site still offers it. The timer does most of the comedy. Nobody writes a three-paragraph hedge in a minute, so the answers come out short, specific and occasionally unhinged, which is the opposite of the slop the site is named after. ## Is Your AI Slop Bores Me safe? It is moderated chat with strangers, which is safer than it sounds and less safe than a chatbot. The code of conduct says the site is for ages 13 and up and bans harassment, hate speech, threats, doxxing and explicit sexual content. It asks players to report anything that crosses the line, and says the team would rather review a bad post than leave it up. NPR reported that the team built tools that try to flag and filter out harmful or illegal posts, and Maroju said the early spam and loophole problems had eased. Two things to know before you play: - **Moderation mostly works after the fact.** Reports get reviewed once a post is up, so you can still see something you would rather not. - **The site runs ads.** Its privacy banner says "we and our partners share information on your use of this website". Its terms and privacy pages returned "page not found" errors when we checked on October 13, 2026. ## Is it anonymous? Answers come from random players you can't pick or contact. The rules ban links, usernames, invite links and "hit me up" messages, so neither side is supposed to learn who the other is. Keep it that way: leave your name, handles and personal details out of your prompts, and report anyone who asks for them. ## Rules and bans The code of conduct covers prompts, answers, drawings and usernames: - No harassment, bullying, hate speech or targeted cruelty. - No threats, doxxing, self-harm instructions or explicit sexual content, even in song lyrics, because players can be as young as 13. - No spam, scams, links or requests to talk somewhere else. - No repeated junk or attempts to dodge moderation. Breaking a rule can get your content removed, your account restricted for a while, or you banned. If you think moderation got it wrong, the site says to email . ## Which site is the real one? The original is youraislopbores.me, the address NPR and Know Your Meme both point to. Copies with near-identical names showed up once it went viral. When we searched the name on October 13, 2026, Google's results included lookalikes at youraislopboresme.com and youraislopboresme.app, and other copies use .ai and misspelled addresses. The real address ends in **bores.me**, with nothing between "bores" and the dot. ## Where the meme came from "Your AI slop bores me" was a reaction image before it was a website. It is a version of the Your Politics Bore Me meme: a boy sitting on a throne of Pepsi, with the line written under him. The Artists Against Generative AI Facebook page first posted it on October 17, 2025, as a reply to drop under AI-generated posts, and the phrase spread from there. ![The original "Your AI slop bores me" reaction image: a boy sitting on a throne built from cases of Pepsi, with the caption across the middle](/images/your-ai-slop-bores-me-meme.jpg) *The original reaction image. Image via [Know Your Meme](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/your-ai-slop-bores-me).* Mihir Maroju launched the website on or around March 7, 2026, and named it after the meme. ## Why it went viral Maroju built the site in early 2026 out of frustration with AI art and AI slop online. NPR describes him as a 17-year-old high school graduate in Puducherry, India. Traffic was quiet at launch, then screenshots of the human "AI" answers spread across Tumblr, Bluesky and X, and the load knocked the site over for a while. Within about a month, Maroju told NPR, it had passed 25 million unique visitors and nearly 280 million hits. The project grew from one developer into a team with a code of conduct, a moderation portal and a Discord server. ## What people said The Daily Dot's Rachel Kiley wrote that "there's really no right or wrong way to do it". Mashable's Chris Taylor called it "amateurish and charming", and Nicole Carpenter at Aftermath said the human answers reminded her of "the human touch of chaos". The cartoonist Amy Kurzweil told NPR that someone asked her to draw a bat eating a strawberry, and that players are "reclaiming some of the magic of the early Internet". ## Why we like it PromptPlay scores AI apps on how much they sound like everyone else. Your AI Slop Bores Me runs the experiment in reverse: it keeps the chatbot's shape and swaps the model for a stranger with a countdown, and the replies get more interesting. It is the fastest way we know to remember what an unslopped answer feels like.

A web game and social experiment where every question and drawing request is answered by another randomly picked human instead of a language model. The site calls itself a real-time multiplayer game where humans role-play as AI. ### Is Your AI Slop Bores Me safe? It is moderated chat with strangers, for ages 13 and up. The code of conduct bans harassment, threats, doxxing, explicit sexual content, spam and links, and breaking it can get you restricted or banned. Don't put personal details or contact handles in a prompt; the rules ban asking for them. ### Is Your AI Slop Bores Me anonymous? Answers come from random players, and the rules ban usernames, links and off-platform contact requests, so neither side is supposed to learn who the other is. The site does show ads, and its privacy banner says it and its partners share information about how you use the site. ### How long do you get to answer a prompt? 60 seconds on the live site when we checked in October 2026. Coverage from the launch months reported 75 seconds, and Wikipedia describes a 2-credit "thinking mode" that gives the answerer 150 seconds. ### Is Your AI Slop Bores Me free? It runs on credits, not money. Each prompt you answer earns 1 credit and credits max out at 6. Per Wikipedia, a player at 0 credits gets 2 more every 10 minutes. ### Where did "your AI slop bores me" come from? A reaction image of a boy on a throne of Pepsi, based on the Your Politics Bore Me meme. The Artists Against Generative AI Facebook page posted it on October 17, 2025, and the website named after it launched in March 2026.
