How I Murdered An Instagram AI Bot Less Than 24 Hours After I Had To Watch My Bengals Lose A Heartbreaking AFC Title Game

You guys have all been there. It's just before lunch on a Monday after your team just gave away an incredible opportunity to make it to the Super Bowl and some Instagram AI bot slides into your Instagram DMs trying to make small talk.

At first, your immediate reaction is, "Who's this dime with 20 followers named Marie?"

Ah, an Instagram bot.

It's game time. Hey, Instagram bot, you want to waste my time on a brutal Monday morning when I'm still emotional over the Bengals losing, it's time to turn the tables on your ass. It's time to see how well you've been programmed to deal with a football fan who is down in the dumps and just wants to talk sports.

Let's do this, Marie.

Lessons from an expert on how to turn Instagram AI bot brains into a pretzel:

And two hours later, Marie (or the Chinese/Russian handler) deleted her IG account.

Remember, fellas, turn the tables on the romance scam bots. Let's say it's March Madness and a romance scammer tries to trick you into sending her $5k to get out of Africa because of some visa issue.

Don't let 2023 be the year when your brain turns to mush and you lose thousands to some scam bot. Be on high alert out there. Save this post as a guide for your big moments when Katarina with double Ds slides into the DMs claiming her other account was hacked and she really wants to be your friend.

Guys, be smart out there. Don't allow the bots to win. These are dangerous times.
