24 alternatives to Can you spot AI-generated content? (spoiler: probably not)

I built this quiz after realizing how good AI has gotten at mimicking literature, speeches, and images. It's one strike and you're out. It includes AI-generated Shakespeare, fake MLK speeches, photorealistic images, and movie dialogue. I got several of my own questions wrong while building it. This isn't about testing your English degree, it's more about showing how well AI can now forge canonical cultural references. We've hit a point where the fakes are genuinely convincing. Where AI still slips up: Over-explanation (real Shakespeare is more economical) Generic metaphors vs. specific…

    Hey HN! Author of the site here. I tried a few tricks to keep the text-generation part of the site up, but even leaning hard on Huggingface's API and bumping time-outs up, it looks like the site is struggling a bit. I'm going to see if there's anything I can do to keep the text-generation part available, but in the meantime, the pre-generated set should stay pretty stable. Not sure if there's much else I can do without burning a hole in my cloud bills — sorry for the troubles! I've put up a more detailed description of how this works on the GitHub -…

    Hi, I'm a high school teacher from Australia and I've built what I'd like to think is a pretty nifty ChatGPT powered presentation tool for teachers. I'd love it if you could have a look at it and give me some of your feedback. I don't think there's much overlap with the HN crowd and school teachers, but I've been coming here for many years and thought I'd post here and see what you all think. Check it out if you have a minute and I'd be super happy to hear your feedback too. https://www.slidehero.ai/ You can jump in and have a play with the tool all you like ;) Cheers, Eli

    Hi HN, I've been experimenting on-and-off over the years trying to automatically generate crosswords [1]. Recently I've been feeling like my results are good enough that I want to share them and see what other people think. I'm not trying to claim that these could appear in, say, the NYT in their current state, but honestly the velocity of progress makes me feel like I will inevitably be able to automatically generate NYT-quality crosswords within just a year or so. A write-up is here: https://abstractnonsense.com/crosswords.html And you can play the crosswords here:…

    I was curious what AI generated news would look like. The Synthetic Standard finds real news and then generatively writes articles as well as images. One of my favorite things so far has been the images: often times they are hilarious depictions similar to a political cartoon.

    Hey HN, this is deepan from trulytyped (https://trulytyped.com). I am building a document writing app which makes it extremely easy to figure out how a document was created. Now that any text can be AI generated, how do you tell if something was actually generated or composed. It is impossible to detect AI after a piece of text has been generated. No amount of watermarking, linguistic checks or vibe checks work consistently. The AI detectors that schools and journals use are easy to bypass. Why do we need to solve this problem - First of all, this is not an anti-AI stance. I have…

    Hey HN! We're Ayman and Dylan, co-founders of Nuanced (https://www.nuanced.dev/). We want to share a tool we’re working on to detect fake and real images: https://trial.nuanced.dev/demo/. The UI is bare-bones but you’ll get the idea. Drag or upload an image and our tool will display the probabilities with which it thinks that the image might be AI-generated or not. If you want, you can click “No, it’s AI” to confirm that the image was AI-generated, or “No, it’s real” to confirm that the image was not AI-generated. Why we’re working on this: as AI-generated…

    This is just a joke, but it might make some of you smile. In seventh grade my English teacher had our class write Shakespearean insults and then battle each other in a Bracket of Dis. With all the talk of GPT-3 ghost writing kids' homework, I figured someone eventually needed to make the Shakespearean Insult Generator.
