Human or Not

Human or Not? is a social Turing game that challenges players to engage in a two-minute chat and discern whether their conversation partner is a human or an AI bot. Developed by AI21 Labs, the game has become a global phenomenon, with over 15 million conversations conducted by more than two million participants worldwide. The experiment concluded, thanking players for their participation and emphasizing the gamified approach to the Turing Test.

As part of an expansive social and educational research project, AI21 Labs conducted the largest Turing Test experiment to date. The initial results, shared as part of a comprehensive paper titled Human or Not? A Gamified Approach to the Turing Test, provide valuable insights into human-AI interactions. Some key findings include that 68% of participants correctly identified whether they were conversing with a human or an AI, with variations observed across countries and age groups. The research also highlights popular strategies employed by participants to distinguish between humans and AI bots, such as assessing language nuances, asking personal questions, and testing awareness of current events.
AI21 Labs plans to delve deeper into the findings, collaborating with other AI researchers to understand the evolving landscape of AI in 2023. The overarching goal is to not only view AI as productivity tools but also as integral members of the online world. This research aims to contribute to the broader understanding of AI implementation in our technological future.
