‘World's worst AI': The chatbot that is actually a human
2026-08-10
[Ynet] In an era when almost any question can get an instant answer from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or one of dozens of other chatbots, one man decided to do the exact opposite: create an artificial intelligence service with no artificial intelligence at all.

The service is called ChatTJB, and at first glance it looks like any other chatbot. Users visit the site, type a question or request and wait for an answer. But behind the scenes there is no language model, no billions of parameters and no server farm consuming vast amounts of electricity. There is simply a person sitting at a computer and answering the questions himself.

Tucker Bryant is a lecturer, artist and former Google project manager. He proudly describes the project as a leading "AI-powered chat interface," but that is where the joke begins. Here, AI does not stand for Artificial Intelligence, but for "Average Individual."
