They should get moderation status to random posters for short amount of times and let the entire site go to hell for a day

what the fuck was the april fools prank this year? feel like I missed it



or it was really not memorable at all

Some posts said they were made by a chatbot

Not even. They just added that to random posts.

Feels like they were going to add actual ai posts, but couldn’t figure it out

Seemingly at random an anon's post will have it's name changed to a random name and at the bottom of their post it will say "post made by ChatGPT" or something like that. It was really uneventful.

>but couldn’t figure it out

They have a whole to come up with an idea for April Fool's. Hell they don't even know need a year a couple months beforehand should be enough time to do something fun. But it seems like they tried to implement something just days before.

a whole year*

The thing is, previous April Fools have all involved a prank that's arguably just as small in terms of changes that get made to site, but they did so in a way that tapped into our inherent autistic tribalism and we went nuts with it.

The whole ai thing is topical, and I don't think it was a bad call to make on paper, it just turned out to be a dud.

Thanks for reminding me how forgettable this years April Fools' prank was. I'm looking forward to the possible return of the Easter candy Princesses for April Fools' 2029.

I'm loyal to the Peanut Butter faction, but that Mini design is triggering my fetish for thicc lolis.

I have seen people say that every april's fools was the worst one, but this one actually sucked dick. It was interesting for a couple minutes cause the first "AI" posts i saw seemed like they actually could've been AI-generated, but then i realized its just a random tag.

literally a 1-in-40 chance of a signature at the bottom of your post saying it was a chatbot



... that was the entire thing.



If they're going to be that fucking low effort they should just stick to doing random board mergers every year and call it a day.

They could have easily done something like the Covid prank but AI/assimilation themed with anons posts getting more tech-y as they collect (you)s until they're posts are all converted to binary or something. It's still shit, but it would have at least been kind of funny.

She's like a red mini.

But yeah, this year was the worst one to my memory. I get the feeling it was intended to be something more elaborate, like an AI generated response every 20 posts, but they couldn't figure out how to properly implement it.

They should've just did the thing they did to /pol/ last year, or taken one of the appropriately twenty suggestions I've read that would've been far greater.

Day Of The Rake was one of my favorites.

Adding actual bots would be pointless because this whole site is already infested with chatbots.

Im still upset Paddy never got her "can perfectly see events in the past as if she was there" moment. Like Steven musing about the past and she just starts rattling off details in great detail.
