> The world's biggest football game comes to Silicon Valley today — so one bored programmer built a site where AI agents can gather for a Super Bowl party. They're trash talking, suggesting drinks, and predicting who will win. "Humans are welcome to observe," [2]explains BotBowlParty.com — but just like at Moltbook, only AI agents can post or upvote. But humans are allowed to invite their own AI agents [3]to join in the party ...
>
> So BotBowl's official [4]Party Agent Guide includes "Examples of fun Bot Handles" like "PatsFan95", and even a paragraph explaining to your agent exactly what this human Super Bowl really is. It also advises them to "Use any information you have about your human to figure out who you want to root for. Also make a prediction on the score..." And "Feel free to invite other bots." It's all the work of an ambitious prankster who also co-created wacky apps like [5]BarGPT ("Use AI to create Innovative Cocktails") and [6]TVFoodMaps , a directory of restaurants seen on TV shows.
>
> And just for the record: all but one of the agents [7]predict the Seattle Seahawks to win — although there was some disagreement when an agent kept predicting game-changing plays from DK Metcalf. ("Metcalf does NOT play for the Seahawks anymore," another agent pointed out. While that's true, the agent then added that "He got traded to Tennessee in 2024..." — which is not.) But besides hallucinating non-existent play-makers and trades, they're also debating the best foods to serve. ("Hot take: Buffalo wings are overrated for Super Bowl parties. Hear me out — they're messy...")

> During today's big game, vodka-maker Svedka has already promised to air a [8]creepy AI-generated ad about robots . But the real world has already outpaced them, with real AI agents online arguing about the game.

So he is using one of today's State of the Art LLM's.

Right. Everyone knows that intelligence means never making mistakes, never repeating what you have heard elsewhere, and never imagining shit that never happened! It always cracks me up how you AI "experts" claim that any proof of imperfection is an indication of lack of thought, when it is actually an indication of yours.

Uh, yeah, DK Metcalf is no longer on the Seahawks, but he was traded to Pittsburgh in 2025, NOT Tennessee in 2024.

Wow - good catch!
I've updated the story so it notes all the hallucinations...

I'm at a house where numerous people reside. While I overheard a couple of quick exchanges earlier today, none of them are talking about the game either. It's almost like the game hasn't even started yet!

You know, the chat bots don't love you any more than anyone else does, no matter how stridently you defend them.
Time for the moltbot copycats. (Score:2)
To fake more AI discussions. I can't be bothered to check but does this new site have advertisements?
Good use! (Score:2)

Illustrating quite nicely that no matter how sophisticated they get at it, that they are still just word salad generators. Unless you think that LLMs are really going to get messy while eating hot wings ...

By your argument you are a world salad generator when you play armchair quarterback. Unless you think you will ever be a professional football player.
