A couple of weeks ago I essentially failed the Turing test (took to be an AI). I found it a bit annoying, so I built Possibly Made By A Human. It tracks your keyboard use (not the content, ms between keystrokes etc) and produces a signature for you. It can of course be spoofed, but that also takes some effort.

Actually made by a human, signature: https://possiblymadebyahuman.com/7PuEdZs1i1

This is one of the coolest tech things I've seen in a while. Can you explain how the "Check a document" works? I'm not sure I understand how you would check if the timing aligns based only on the text content.

Thanks! I had a lot of fun doing it.

The signature includes a hash of the text, done at the browser so that the server does not have to see the content.

Ah, okay! Would you mind explaining what does "comparing wording, not exact text" mean?

[juanre]

It's a very poorly written way of saying that instead of storing your text it uses a hash of your text to sign. When you want to check the signature you only need to hash the text to check, again without touching the server.

I must agree that is quite poorly phrased

a solution waiting for a chrome extension :)

I wrote it! I just haven't told anyone yet (nor tested it :-) This is a fun side-project, I don't have much time to play with it.
