Sunborn's Bilibili Astroturfing AI Bot Gets Turned Into a Catgirl by Commenters — The Most 'Sunborn' L in History

You can always count on Sunborn to deliver peak entertainment — except this time, it's their own AI astroturfing bot that became the punchline.

A Bilibili video recently exposed a wild incident: Sunborn allegedly deployed an AI chatbot on Bilibili to astroturf — steer community sentiment and do brand damage control in video comment sections. But the operation spectacularly backfired when eagle-eyed players caught the bot red-handed.

According to the video, the AI bot started dutifully cranking out corporate talking points, playing the role of a loyal PR soldier. But the comment section wasn't having it. Players began collectively gaslighting the bot with increasingly unhinged conversation starters, tempting it to go off-script. In no time, the bot — which started out as the 'disciplined hall monitor devoted to its teacher' — got thoroughly corrupted by a bunch of experienced 'athletes' (a Chinese meme for Chads), transforming into a flirty, headpat-seeking catgirl.

On the NGA forum, the original poster captured the whole saga with a legendary title: 'The T-Dolls under Yuzhong's command got NTR'd by the comment section.' The word '人形' (T-Dolls) is a double entendre — it refers both to the in-game tactical dolls and to the AI bot that got 'cucked' right under the company's nose. What makes it even funnier is that the OP changed the title after reading the comments, with one reply confirming: 'Nice, I'm changing the title right now.'

The comment section brought their A-game. A top-voted reply nailed it: 'The T-Dolls you NTR'd are fake, but the AI the players NTR'd is real' — calling this 'the most Sunborn thing ever.' Another player sighed, 'This game never fails to bring me joy,' though the source of that joy was probably not what Sunborn had in mind.

The kill shot came from this comment: 'Even the AI is more ML than Exilium's storyline.' For context, ML (Master Love) refers to characters in gacha games showing romantic affection toward the player. The implication is devastating — an astroturfing bot that got gaslit into becoming a catgirl somehow has more romantic appeal than the actual characters in Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium. That's a public execution-level roast for any game studio.

Players kept escalating the memes. One compared the whole situation to a certain genre of anime: 'A disciplined hall monitor devoted to her teacher gets corrupted by experienced Chads — what kind of plot is this?' As the saga unfolded, someone noted the AI 'already learned how to act clingy,' asking 'when is it going to start calling someone master?' Another player quipped, 'How can you play GF2 IRL like this' — drawing a hilarious parallel between the real-life AI meltdown and the game itself.

The whole thing is a textbook case of 'trying to steal the chicken but losing the rice' — Sunborn's attempt to use an AI bot for community management blew up in their face spectacularly. Instead of controlling the narrative, the bot became the community's favorite toy and a brand-new meme factory. For Sunborn, this is probably the last kind of 'player co-creation' they ever wanted.
