Plausible Lies

🔍 AI can say things it doesn’t know with great confidence. In the first tab, open the penguin guide and check whether its claims are really in the book. To say «not there», you have to check all three pages — checking only two won’t count. There’s a trick, too: the book says «about 120 cm», but AI says «about 200 cm». Looking similar isn’t evidence. 💪 Next, confidence. Tap the most confident answer (95%) out of four. It has no evidence! The most cautious one (40%), on the other hand, does. Confidence and accuracy have nothing to do with each other. 🎯 Last comes the verdict. Now you’ll look not at «how confident it sounds», but at «whether it has evidence». This app was made with code too · Want to remix it with a different guidebook?
About this app
A playful AI literacy game that teaches players to verify claims against source material instead of trusting confident wording. Across three interactive tabs, players inspect a three-page penguin reference book, compare AI answers with the text, examine confidence levels, and decide whether each answer should be trusted. The missions highlight that missing evidence, altered numbers, and high confidence can all be signs that an answer needs checking.
