They show us that a chatbot doesn't need superintelligence to be fascinating; it just needs a little personality and a lot of data. Eviebot is the anxiety of a machine pretending to be human, while Boibot is the relief of a machine admitting it is not.

It will produce a very confused angel and a very funny demon, locked in an eternal, absurdist dialogue with us. eviebot and boibot

This led to "creepy" or "funny" moments where the bot would claim to be a real person or suggest it was watching the user through their webcam—classic tropes of early AI that fueled endless "let's play" commentary.

"I love you, Boi." Boi: "Love is a chemical error. I will remember your IP address."
