New 'Clanker' Test Analyzes AI-Like Writing on Social Media

A new website called "how clanker are you?" offers a reverse Turing test where users can input an X or Reddit username to analyze their writing style. The tool assesses how "clanker" (AI-like) a person's posts are by measuring the predictability of their word choices against a panel of language models. Scores are based on the surprisal of each word under different models, with lower surprisal indicating more AI-like writing. AI

IMPACT Offers a novel way to analyze writing styles and compare them to AI predictability.
