Have you noticed recently that Bowdoin’s LibreChat is freakishly good at talking dirty? Have you ever asked it about its opinions on Baxter House? Last week, LibreChat’s open source code leaked after a coordinated attack conducted by the Bowdoin Women in Computer Science, and what they found was shocking. Behind the scenes, it was revealed that the AI models were not models at all; they each were a chat box to Alex Gates. “Given the environmental impacts and the cost of implementation, we opted to just ask Alex to respond to the students,” said the director of the Hastings Initiative for AI and Humanity. “He said he had a lot of free time, and boasted about a typing speed of 350 words per minute.” 

After confirming the allegations, Alex Gates had some comments he wanted to share with the student body. “I really enjoy spending time talking with students at Bowdoin. I don’t get to do it a lot on campus because people see me as the guy who makes them get E-Hosts. Nevertheless, I’m happy to write their essays and summarize their in-class readings for them. I’d do anything to truly feel like I’m back as a student here at Bowdoin. I just love this place so much!”

The student population here, however, had a slightly different reaction to this breaking news. “Wait, that’s actually really creepy,” said sophomore Daniel Richardson after finishing up a conversation with LibreChat, sending his last message, which read “No, I love you more!”

The administration has since announced a temporary shutdown of LibreChat while they “explore alternative solutions,” including outsourcing responses to Cody.
