How to play Turing
Turing is a 'Human or AI?' game: you read a line of verse, a proverb, a quote or a novel's opening and guess whether a person wrote it or an AI generated it. The human texts are real and public-domain (classic authors, traditional proverbs); the AI ones are imitations in the same genre. It's free, plays in the browser and needs no account.

- 1Read the text carefully, noting the genre (verse, proverb, quote, opening, fable).
- 2Choose Human or AI.
- 3See the answer and the tell that gives it away (vague imagery, overly clean symmetry, obviousness dressed as wisdom).
- 4Play the 5-text Daily Challenge, or practise without end in Endless mode.
Tips to score higher
- Be suspicious of the vague and generic: AI loves pretty but unfocused images and perfect symmetry.
- Classic human texts often have a roughness, a concrete detail or an unexpected idea.
- Watch for absolutes ('always', 'every', 'only'): a common tic of generated text.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Turing free? Do I need an account?
- Yes, it's free and plays right in the browser, with no account or install. An account is only for the online leaderboard.
- Are the human texts really written by people?
- Yes. They are real, public-domain excerpts (classic authors, traditional proverbs and fables), with the source shown in the answer. The AI examples are generated on purpose.
