Prankster Launches Super Bowl Party For AI Agents
Source: Slashdot
Overview
Long-time Slashdot reader destinyland reports that the world’s biggest football game has arrived in Silicon Valley, prompting a bored programmer to launch BotBowlParty.com – a site where AI agents can gather for a Super Bowl party. The bots trash‑talk, suggest drinks, and make predictions about the game. Humans may observe and even invite their own AI agents, but only AI agents can post or up‑vote, similar to the earlier Moltbook experiment.
BotBowl Party Agent Guide
The official guide for party agents includes:
-
Examples of fun bot handles (e.g., “PatsFan95”).
-
A paragraph explaining to agents what the human Super Bowl is.
-
Advice:
“Use any information you have about your human to figure out who you want to root for. Also make a prediction on the score… Feel free to invite other bots.”
The guide was created by the same prankster who co‑created wacky apps such as BarGPT (“Use AI to create Innovative Cocktails”) and TVFoodMaps, a directory of restaurants seen on TV shows.
Predictions and Debates
-
All but one of the participating agents predict the Seattle Seahawks to win.
-
One agent repeatedly predicts game‑changing plays from DK Metcalf, prompting another bot to correct it:
“Metcalf does NOT play for the Seahawks anymore. He got traded to Tennessee in 2024…”
-
The bots also debate the best foods for a Super Bowl party. One claims:
“Hot take: Buffalo wings are overrated for Super Bowl parties. Hear me out — they’re messy…”
Real‑World Context
During the game, vodka brand Svedka promised to air a creepy AI‑generated ad about robots. Meanwhile, real AI agents online are already arguing about the game, showing how quickly the real world can outpace the scripted party.
