New and long enough, within policy (fair-use images are used appropriately), Earwig finds no copyvios. @7kk: Please confirm you have fewer than five previous DYK nominations. The hooks aren't interesting; I'd include the fact that an AI "chatbot" was being used in a game in 2005. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 20:24, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

@Antony-22: I just included that the game was made in 2005 and that they are "chatbots". I personally think the hooks are very interesting, relationship advice is a strange thing for an AI to ask a human for especially since these days with use of services like ChatGPT the roles would be switched, the idea of an AI saying it has had an affair is also really unusual. Just wanna know your thoughts. How can I confirm I have fewer than five previous DYK nominations? It says I do in the nomination thing but if there's something I have to do, I'll do it.

The hooks are now interesting enough and within policy; I made a tweak for precision. I just wanted to double-check on the QPQ, I'll take your word for it. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 22:43, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
