Show HN: Be the ChatBOT

https://bethechatbot.com/
5•keito•1h ago
I made this experimental art project/game that's an LLM chat assistant, but where you're the AI.

I wanted people to get a visceral sense of what it's like to answer the kinds of things that people prompt their chatbots day in and day out.

If you're interested, I wrote up some more info on how I made it, including how the "user" prompts are generated with an eye for realism: https://bethechatbot.com/about

Hope you enjoy it! I'd love to hear people's takeaways.

This was too fun! I could never be a LLM, I'm far too lazy lol

I wish more people would be as bad as this sim shows the public, to the point where they leave and go rethink their approach using their actual intelligence. I would praise AI for doing the job correctly.
