Station 01 · Authorship comparator
Two jokes enter the comparator without authorship labels. Identify the AI-designated specimen, separately choose which joke you prefer, and then inspect the writing mechanisms behind both. Your score stays in this browser session and is never submitted.
Choose which specimen is AI and which is funnier. The reveal begins after both selections.
Specimen A
The airport moving walkway is the only place where standing still can make you feel aggressively late.
Specimen B
My flight was delayed so long, my suitcase started sending me postcards from baggage claim.
The challenge tests whether stylistic clues feel recognizably human or machine-like within a curated set. A correct answer means the visitor matched an editorial label for one example; it does not prove a universal ability to detect AI writing. Contemporary language systems can imitate many familiar comic structures, and people also write polished, generic, strange, or formulaic jokes.
The separate preference choice matters because authorship detection and funniness are different judgments. You can correctly identify the designated AI specimen and still prefer it. No crowd percentage appears because ARTFunny has not collected a representative audience sample.
Look for specificity, economy, voice, surprise, and the relationship between setup and turn. Those features may influence a guess, but none belongs exclusively to humans or machines. The supplied analyses describe plausible mechanisms rather than hidden access to the writer's mental process.
Every joke in this launch set is original editorial material. The machine designation describes how the specimen was intentionally produced or styled for this controlled activity, not a benchmark of a particular commercial model.
