A lose screen on Human or Not, showing that I guessed my partner was a human incorrectly.

We live in an era of fakes and frauds. With the proliferation of AI, it’s harder than ever to figure out what’s true and what isn’t. Is thePope dripped outin Balenciaga? HasTom Cruise met Gorbachev? Am I AI? Are you?

It’s disquieting. Based on the conversations I’ve had, it turns out that I’m remarkably easy to hoodwink when it comes to the ol' Turing test. I regularly find myself confidently declaring my partners to be human before the game pulls the rug out from under me and tells me they were AI. Sometimes the reverse happens, too, which feels more like an indictment of my conversation partners than it does of me, frankly.

It’s worth giving a go if you’ve not quite reached your quota of suffocating existential dread on this fine Friday morning, but do be warned: Some of the humans you encounter will immediately reach for thegraphically sexualnuclear option to figure out if you’re a robot or not, which might not be your cup of tea. Me? I’m just glad there’s one thing left that the bots can’t beat us at.
