I think the page is just a lie. It's an add for vivgrid. The next-page button doesn't work. Many of the Chinese entries have emojis in their names, which seems to me an unrealistic amount of whimsy (I suspect instead that the data is manufactured, and the AI ~helpfully~ included emojis for the webapp owner's easier understanding). Almost every entry with latin text is named just "Assistant" (wow what a coincidence!). There are plenty of English and Chinese entries, but seemingly none for the other major languages (eg Spanish is second-most-spoken, but there's only one possibly-Spanish entry). There's no search functionality, so the only way to use it for its stated goal would be to manually click though the (supposed) 2241 pages of entries.

Yes, there is some kind of network of bot accounts that upvote AI slop onto the front page.

I hope this is not true, I would find it quite discouraging. :(
