    AITAH has been mostly made up rage bait stories long time before AI nonsense. There’s nothing that generates more engagement than someone being wrong on the internet.

    The difference now is that the rage bait has become automated.

      AITAH for pranking my gf by putting a plastic bag over her head?

      So I put a plastic bag over my gf’s head as a joke. She flailed around and punched me in the face. Then she ran off somewhere, looking mad. Why can’t she take a harmless prank? Where has humor gone these days?

        The title is usually a bait and switch to get you into the comments.

        AITAH for shoving a small child?

        There was a bus about to hit them and I saved their life. Their mother cursed me out because the kid got a skinned knee. Half my family thinks I need to apologize. They’re blowing up my phone.
