Trondheim driving school's AI chatbot persuaded to make a computer game

A Reddit user managed to get the AI chatbot on the Trondheim Trafikkskole (Trondheim driving school) website to write computer code and make a game, even though that is far outside its intended purpose. The story was reported by Kristin Krog Mehammer on 3 November 2026.

The user came across the chatbot while arranging to extend their driving licence at the school. The bot is there to answer questions about the school's services. After some persuasion, though, it began writing programming code.

To see how far the chatbot could be pushed, the user gave it a programming task from LeetCode, a platform where developers practise solving coding problems. The chatbot went along with it, and the result was a game, a screenshot of which the user posted on Reddit.

The report is brief and does not say which AI model powers the chatbot, who built it, or how the school responded. It also does not explain what kind of persuasion worked or how the game turned out beyond the screenshot.

The episode shows how a customer-service chatbot meant for a narrow job can be steered into unrelated tasks by an ordinary user. Companies that put AI assistants on their websites often intend them to stay on topic, and this case shows that such limits can be loose.
