"In a world looming with the threat of ai stealing your job, save humanity by stealing ai's job. According to Maroju, inspiration for the site came from a frustration for AI art and its proliferation, making artists' lives worse and also just filling the Internet with low-effort generic slop."
"So far, it's working. In just a week, the site has garnered about 50 million views, and is currently sitting at 16,000 concurrent users. According to Maroju, the past several days have been spent upgrading the site's servers, to the point that the datacenter had no more cpu cores to give us."
A programmer created a parody website called "Your AI slop bores me" that redirects user requests from AI chatbots to random internet users instead. The site emerged from frustration with AI-generated art flooding the internet with low-effort content while harming artists. It aims to recapture early internet culture by connecting people directly. The concept resonated widely, attracting 50 million views and 16,000 concurrent users within a week of launch. The unexpected popularity forced the creator to continuously upgrade server infrastructure to handle demand, eventually reaching datacenter capacity limits.
