New website lets humans pretend they’re AI chatbots. There are already millions of users

The site allows you to ask questions in the same way you ask ChatGPT, with a human then answering and posing as an AI.

Is it a kind of Turing test in reverse? A satirist where humans pretend to be artificial intelligence is attracting millions of users around the world.

A platform, Your AI Slop Bores Me (Your AI Mud Bores Me), was created by Mihir Maroju17, and quickly went viral. Launched just a month ago, the site has already attracted more than 25 million unique visitors and almost 280 million hits in total. Unlike real AI chatbots, every response on the platform is written by a human posing as a machine.

The concept imitates tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Claudeallowing users to submit image suggestions or responses. However, instead of algorithmic responses, participants have just 75 seconds to create responses manually, which often results in humorous, improvised sketches or spontaneous responses.

The emergence of platforms like this occurs in a context of growing adoption of AI. A 2025 Pew Research Center study revealed that more than a third of adults in the U.S. have already used ChatGPTnot just for practical tasks like planning trips or completing academic work, but also for entertainment. This led to a parallel trend: humans “interpreting” AIs for fun.

However, not all experiences in this area are transparent. Comedian Ben Palmer created fake AI websitesdesigned to trick users into believing they were interacting with real chatbots.

“Sometimes, people access the website think they are writing to ChatGPT real. But, in fact, they are writing to me”, explains Palmer to , adding that reactions were varied, with some users upset with the mistake, while others accepted the joke.

Experts say the phenomenon reflects a broader cultural moment. While AI tools are deeply integrating into everyday life, human-made imitations underscore the desire to maintain authenticity online.

As AI continues to expand into digital culture, the success of human-operated “fake chatbots” suggests that for many users, the interest in the internet still lies in unpredictable human connection.
