A recent poll circulating on Reddit explores a modern anxiety: being mistaken for an artificial intelligence online. The question, posed in the r/artificial subreddit, asks users if they’ve ever experienced a situation where someone believed them to be a bot, effectively “failing” the Turing test in reverse. The original Reddit post, which can be found at https://old.reddit.com/r/artificial/comments/1kws17i/have_you_ever_failed_the_turing_test_aka_somebody/, has sparked discussion and humorous anecdotes about the increasing difficulty in distinguishing human from AI in online interactions.
