In the head-to-head comparison, what is the goal of the human talking to the judge? Are they trying to fool the judge into thinking they’re the AI? Or are they trying to make it easier for the judge to spot the AI?

Because this really matters. If you put me up against ChatGPT I’m going to talk briefly and informally, with lower case text. I’ll answer their questions succinctly without much elaboration. And I think most judges would then easily spot ChatGPT due to its formality and perfect grammar.

On the other hand, there are chat bots designed to pass the Turing test which speak informally and even ignore questions. They tend to fool people into thinking they’re a bored teenager.

The latter. Both A and B (human and AI subjects) are trying to convince the judge that they're the human.
