    Reveal the unexpected or humorous result of the initial experiment, proving the concept's entertainment value and subverting expectations.

  4. 4

  5. 5

    The First-Person Challenge

    Show the creator attempting to navigate the new interactive mechanic in response to a specific, often absurd, prompt.

  6. 6

  7. 7

Transcript

I think I just found my new favorite thing on the Internet. There's a website that looks like an AI chatbot, better fact, it is a human pretending to be an AI. How do I become a millionaire? ChattyPT might have been faster, but we'll be patient. Well, I can confirm this was indeed worth the wait. So when you run out of credits, which I already have, you must LARP as an AI to get more credits. So let's do it. Okay. Draw Yuri stabbing herself. Okay. What do we think? I think we did pretty well. Let's send that on. Someone disliked my work. We have asked for an illustration of better best, and it is taking quite some tier, so I'm expecting a masterpiece. Stay tuned. It was worth the wait. There he is, Jimmy. Sam Allman and Gary Muddy should be they should be scared.
