I keep accidentally clicking on the human one because my brain wants to treat it as “find the human content”.

FWIW, I found the “medium” one’s hardest. Most of the “hard” ones have dead giveaways in the form of either punctuation or common AI text rhythms.

Thank you for trying! I first built it as 'detect the human' response, but that was counter to the 'slop or not' framing. Yeah I'm also observing the same based on the first few hundred people's results. The harder models seem to write almost too well and that's generally not how humans write on the internet unless it is a blog post/essay. The easier models seem to be the ones that are tripping people the most.
I think it'd be nice if the site allowed the user to choose wether they want to tap on what they assume is human-written or AI-generated
Yeah the UX itself is clearly slop
