The idea of a reverse Turing Test ("prove to me you are a machine") has been rattling around for a while but AFAIK nobody's really come up with a good one




Solve a bunch of math problems really fast? They don't have to be complex, as long as they're completed far quicker than a person typing could manage.

you'd also have to check if it's a human using an AI to impersonate another AI

We try to do the same for a human using another human by making the time limits shorter.

Seems fundamentally impossible. From the other end of the connection, a machine acting on its own is indistinguishable from a machine acting on behalf of a person who can take over after it passes the challenge.

Maybe asking how it reacts to a turtle on it's back in the desert? Then asking about it's mother?

Cells. Interlinked.

which may be either funner or scarier in light of the actual existence of Moltbook.
