Human or AI?

Nvidia just dropped a new research document showcasing the latest abilities in text-to-video, and the results speak for themselves. Could the next Star Wars be made entirely from a text document? Probably not (yet).

Ever since AI started gaining traction, there’s been a lot of hype, excitement, and concerns. We can probably thank Hollywood for some of those concerns, such as a Terminator-led apocalypse, but other worries are much more grounded in reality. 

One potential worry is will AI get so good at imitating humans that we begin to struggle identifying what we are speaking to? A group of makers decided to get together to find out the answer on a global scale. 

Launching today, ‘Human or Not?’ is a chat-based web game built by the folks at A121 Labs. The concept is pretty simple, log on and start a chat, the app will then match you with either a human or a robot. Once the conversation starts, you will have two minutes to talk, and after those two minutes, you will be asked if you’re talking to a human or a robot. 

A social experiment: Whilst ‘Human or Not?’ is a fun game, it’s also a social experiment. Amos Meron, the Maker who had the initial idea, describes the ultimate goal as to “help all of us better understand the nature of these AI models in the context of not just a productivity tool, but members of our online world.”

It’s not as easy as it sounds, and with the continuing advancement of LLMs, it’s likely to get even harder to decipher between our AI friends and other humans.
