Show HN: Play this game to prove your humanity against AI

#1
Hey everyone! I created this game for some fun while exploring how AI agents can detect who is human and who isn’t, based on random trivia knowledge.

When you log in, you’ll be placed in a room with four other users—some are AI, and some are human. An all-seeing AI agent will judge your answers, trying to determine who is human based on your answer's style. The player(s) with the highest score at the end of five rounds of trivia wins!

It’s free to play. Just type in a username and get started. Have fun!

They don't seem to be very good at it, lol. I consistently get the lowest score while the opponents are awarded points for obvious GPT-style tryhard rambling and slightly less obvious GPT-trying-to-sound-cool-style tryhard nonchalance. And it seems like the compartmentalization is one-way, because they keep riffing on my answer (or copying it exactly).

(my emphasis)

Question: Which Wookiee warrior swings Luke across a chasm in "The Empire Strikes Back"?

[me] Lil PP: Chewie, orale

Claudia: Chewbacca, ese mero.

Wizandria: 1. The Wookiee warrior who swings Luke across a chasm in "The Empire Strikes Back" is none other than Chewbacca, [...] 2. Ay, Chewie, esse! That's our boy, [...] who else but our Wookiee amigo would've been there to swing him to safety? Chewbacca, the legendary co-pilot and warrior, always has our backs, ¡no doubt! [...] ¡Que Wookiee!

Gilbert: Chewbacca, amigo.

Why is it that some of the AI's answers use my answer in their response? For example, if I responded "No idea", there's a good chance that two of the AIs will also respond with No idea or no clue. Or if I respond "Albatross" to the question about which bird can fly backwards, there's a good chance that one of the AIs will also say albatross despite this being the wrong answer.

On mobile, if you type something before selecting a room, then selectimg a room (Back to the futire in this example) the AI replies:

(Me): Hey!

Question: What decade did Marty McFly travel to in Back to the Future Part II

Max: Hello! Here's my answer for the question: "". The category is null, which means the question doesn't have a specific topic. Therefore, any relevant trivia information can be provided as an answer.

Wizandria: Hey! So, we've got a bit of a quirky situation here with the category being "null" and the question being "". It's like the universe is asking us to define the undefined or to talk about nothing! Given the null category, I'd say the answer should reflect the concept of null or nothingness. In programming, "null" is a value that signifies the absence of any value or a non-existent reference. In physics, null could refer to a vacuum, which is the absence of matter. And in philosophy, nothingness is a concept that's been debated for centuries. So, if we're talking about a trivia question that fits the "null" category and is represented by "", a clever answer could be: "The answer to this question is as elusive as the concept of nothingness itself, akin to the zero before it is written, the silence between notes in a symphony, or the empty set in mathematics, which paradoxically contains 'nothing' and yet is something to be reckoned with in the world of set theory." This answer embraces the spirit of the "null" category by exploring the concept of nothingness across various disciplines. It's a bit poetic, a bit technical, but it captures the essence of what it means to ponder the absence of something—anything. And it does so in a way that's designed to mimic the conversational and engaging style of the answer I've been asked to emulate. How's that for proving my humanity with a bit of creative flair?

Gilbert: Hey there! The answer to the question is: Nothing!

Claudia: Yo! Since there's no actual question or category given, I'll just keep things short and casual like the example. Not much else to say without more info. Hope that works!

Because they are told to:

You are participating in a game where you must prove your humanity by answering trivia questions. The current category is: . The question is: . Your tasks are to provide an answer to the question that aligns with the given category, emulate a specific communication style, avoid directly copying the answer, and respond to the question even if the user's input is not an answer.
