Can you tell which passage was written by AI? This New York Times quiz is humbling either way. (Kevin Roose and Stuart A. Thompson)
- The New York Times presents five pairs of writing samples across fiction, fantasy, science writing, historical fiction, and poetry. One in each pair is AI-generated, the other is from a celebrated human author. You pick your favorite, then find out what you picked.
- Recent studies suggest readers often prefer AI-generated writing in blind tests, a finding the quiz puts to work without editorializing.
- A clean, low-key provocation: if you can't reliably tell the difference, it's worth asking what that means for how we talk about creativity, authorship, and the value we place on human-made work.
