My boomer friend had to boomsplain what *Hot Potato* was to me the other day. He said, "The game Hot Potato is a classic game from many of us older guys' youth....
....The rules for Hot Potato are 'Gather a group of 3 or more people. One person will sit out and play music on their phone or a radio for as long as they want while everyone in the group passes a potato around the circle. Whoever is holding the potato when the music stops loses the round. Keep playing until one winner remains!'"

Botsplaining is similar to mansplaining, except that the actor in this case is an AI chatbot. While attempting to use the tool to explore unusual ideas and concepts, the bot will continuously interrupt the conversation in order to condescendingly interject comments such as "it is crucial to understand that diverse viewpoints exist" as if you were clearly such a dolt that you didn't understand that talking about one viewpoint does not amount to forgetting that other viewpoints exist.
