I've been running a "catch the AI" contest at the library. The goal being to gameify learning about LLMs/generative AI. It's been hit and miss in terms of participants except for one boy who enthusiastically answers every new challenge and always gets it right.

I've never actually seen the kid, but those who have say he's really happy the library is "doing something so important". It's for adults and teens. Anyhow, I like doing it, if only for the one die hard fan that fills out the slip every week without fail.

And it's also gotten people to check out some books about critical thinking, machine learning, data science, and AI on the adjacent shelf.

I keep hoping one day I'll walk in and see the box filled with slips, but it's still nice to see my one fan hanging in there 😂

It takes one to spot one. And it helps them improve their detection evasion techniques. While reassuring humans there's nothing to worry about.

We'd have bigger problems, then, because that would mean the AI has taken human form, walking undetected among us, and has decent penmanship.

True, could be three monkeys in a trenchcoat for all I know. 😉

Mostly, it's that I just don't work on that side. I'm on the grown up side. Other people have seen and interacted with the kid, so I'm reasonably certain he's neither a bot nor three monkeys in a trenchcoat. Not that I have anything against monkeys or trenchcoats.

@IntentionallyBLANK woah nice! Care to share more details about it? How is the dynamics, sources, prompts etc

That might be a lot, even for my long-winded self, but basically this gist of it is to make an article or image (or image paired with an article) and have people try to sort out which one has mistakes or "tells" that it might be AI generated.

I put a disclaimer on it that I'm actively trying to get the bots to give bad information re: the articles. Although, sometimes I don't need to, the LLMs are either working with out of date material or tend to hallucinate on certain topics.

The real and not real items set out for a certain amount of time. There are slips for each one asking which image for each round was AI or real with an open question asking people "how they knew it was AI or knew it was real".

After that I post which AI was used, the original prompt, and information about how AI works (in simple terms) and remind people to always verify sources, ask questions about what they're reading based on logic. Rinse repeat. 👍🏼

I try to use a mix of generative AIs--not just ChatGPT--Llama/Meta, Claude/Anthropic, Gemini/Google, Adobe AI "generative shape fill", DALL-E, Mid journey, etc. I stay away from political (or hot button issues) and try to stick with science/technology topics, biographies, and the like. I also set out books on critical thinking, AI, and data science. Plus I try to provide links to reputable sources discussing AI and give people ideas for things they can do to test/evaluate AIs performance. For making pictures, I suggest they have AI make signs with lettering, images involving hands, the inner workings of machines or simple machines they may be familiar enough with to notice problems. For written content, I recommend they take a topic, person, or fandom they know a lot about and ask highly detailed questions that a moderately knowledgeable person would know if they were comfortable in the topic, etc.
