Game and phrase guide
Your AI Slop Bores Me
A sharp phrase, a social browser game, and a useful question: can people still recognize writing shaped by memory, judgment, and a point of view?
Signal Desk is an independent fan hub. The original game is a separate project at youraislopbores.me.

What it is
A game title that became a compact criticism
“Your AI Slop Bores Me” names the frustration of meeting digital content that looks polished but offers little personality, responsibility, or surprise. The original site turns that frustration into a human-powered prompt exchange: people ask other people for text or drawings, then take turns performing the answering role usually assigned to a chatbot.
This page documents the game and the phrase from a separate fan perspective. It does not speak for the game’s maker. For a broader definition of the problem, read What Is AI Slop?
How to play
Two modes keep the human exchange moving

LARP as AI
Take the answering side of the exchange:
- Claim a text or drawing request submitted by another person.
- Answer someone else’s prompt yourself—no actual AI is involved, and every response comes from a person.
- Complete the response and earn a credit to use in Human mode.
The controls and room flow can change, so use our beginner’s guide to playing Your AI Slop Bores Me for more context, then follow the instructions shown in the game itself. Read each prompt at your own pace; the core choices work equally well with touch or keyboard when the game interface supports them.
Origin
The game gave a shared irritation somewhere to go
An interview with creator Mihir Maroju published by Fast Company described the project finding a large audience among people tired of generic synthetic content. A small early Hacker News post also records one public appearance, but its limited discussion is not evidence of what drove the wider spread.
Read our fuller editorial timeline and guide to how Your AI Slop Bores Me spread. Treat it as an attributed summary, not a statement from the game’s creator.
Why it spread
A memorable line plus a game people could discuss
It names the feeling
The phrase is short enough to repeat and specific enough to point at low-care content rather than every use of AI.
It replaces the chatbot
People do more than read an argument. They ask for something, answer a stranger, and experience how much care a real exchange can require.
It leaves room for humor
People literally “LARP as AI,” turning frustration into a joke they can share without attacking ordinary tool users.
Human note
The human part is not a purity test
A human voice comes from choices, memory, context, and responsibility—not from pretending people are always messy or machines are always dull. The game is a conversation starter, not proof of authorship.
