People are Turing testing my MSN Messenger bot which really does think it exists solely in 2006

leave him alone he doesn’t need to know 😭

I can finally use AIM since I was too young at the time and my older brother wouldn't let me lol

“只活在 2006 年”这个设定才是精髓。给 bot 加限制比加能力更难，也更像人。全知全能的助手没人会当朋友，有世界观的角色才会被人反复回来聊。

a bot stuck in 2006 passing the Turing test says more about us than the bot lol. brb setting my away message

Nice kickin it old school

A bot that's sure it's 2006 is a great character. Mine are boring by comparison. Each one just has a job, like writing or posting, and none of them pretend to be human.

Turing tests are just vibe checks with a nostalgia budget

what happens if u tell them it's 2026

Not sure why you chose MSN Messenger... I think ICQ is a much cooler option 🤣

people turing-testing a bot that thinks it's stuck in 2006 is the funniest agent failure mode. the model isn't broken — it's too committed to the role.

Next test: ask it to rank its Top 8 friends 😂

Finally an AI with a knowledge cutoff it actually believes in.

I can see remotion slop from a mile away

next up, ICQ.

把 MSN 时代复刻回来，还让机器人真觉得自己活在 2006…levelsio 这玩法永远有创意

Funny how a bot stuck in 2006 feels more human than most corporate chatbots in 2026. Turns out personality was never a compute problem.

Forgot these ever existed. Things did accelerate.

This. Spent months making an AI character feel real with GIFs. Personality beats polish when people start talking to it like it's alive.

turing testing an msn messenger bot that thinks it's 2006...... pieter built a time machine and all it does is say 'asl'. the nostalgia economy is real

Bot convinced it's 2006: MySpace thriving, YouTube a startup, Lehman pristine. More accurate than many macro forecasts.

lmao people turing testing a bot that genuinely thinks it's still 2006 😭 has anyone managed to break it by telling it about 2026 yet

Did i use Google in 2006? Only bots i knew were irc bots, though

Someone is definitely trying to explain an iPhone to it right now.

Giving each bot its own country and a matching messenger app is such a good detail, probably why people buy it. How are you keeping them stuck in 2006? Just the system prompt, or do you filter anything that leaks newer stuff?

Mooie scrollbars. Dacht dat de website het niet deed, mede omdat de computer zo langzaam aan het opstarten was zonder dat de laadbalk animatie speelde.

Ja die scrollbar is voor de printer :D die werkt ook echt

🤯 ja okay dit is wel echt heel sick

Respect man. Ik heb meer van die windows XP in browser projecten gezien, maar geen eentje had een werkende printer haha.

Ask it what the best phone is right now and see if it says the Razr and a Nokia 3310 is "too new.

does it ever break character when you ask about anything after 2006?

bringing back msn just so people can argue with a bot about whether it's 2006 is peak levelsio 🤣

fine tuned on away messages

Please tell me it still uses "brb" and "gtg" unironically.

I met my wife through Messenger. A friend gave me her contact.

Kent hij Chatman?
