The website Your AI Slop Bores Me takes its name from a meme people on social media use to criticize AI-generated content. The site — a fake AI chatbot — has only been around for about a month. But its creator, Mihir Maroju, said it’s already received more than 25 million unique visitors and nearly 280 million total hits.

“People are spending hours on the site,” the 17-year-old high school graduate in Puducherry, India said in an interview
