What People Tend to Miss
When it comes to spotting AI hallucinations, even the most confident users are often caught off guard. Patterns observed across gameplay examples show where people often stumble over:
- Text: False facts, invented quotes, and fabricated sources can sound surprisingly convincing-especially when wrapped in academic language or backed by precise statistics.
- Image: Visual clues like extra fingers, unrealistic shadows, or distorted backgrounds are easy to overlook at first glance.
- Audio: The most deceptive format. AI-generated voices with emotional tone or natural flow often seem more human than they are.
It's a strong reminder: even realistic-looking (or sounding) content can be misleading. The key is to pause, look closer, and think critically.
Inside the Game: Learn by Doing
Each round of the game presents a short AI-generated item: a social post, a tourist photo, a voice-mail. Your task? Decide whether it's real or AI-generated.
Get it right, and earn points. Miss it, and learn why. Every example includes a brief explanation to help you understand what gave it away-or what made it so convincing.
You'll cover all three formats:
- Text: misleading statistics, invented quotes, hallucinated sources
- Images: distorted faces, impossible lighting, surreal backgrounds
- Audio: voice clones, robotic pitch changes, nonsensical sounds
💡 You don't need any technical knowledge. Just curiosity, and a willingness to challenge your assumptions.
