Bot or Not
Spot AI-generated randomness
Last verified:
What is Bot or Not?
Bot Or Not is a free browser-based game that tests your ability to distinguish between AI-generated sequences and truly random sequences. The game presents you with 4 sequences, where 3 are actually random and 1 is AI-generated pretending to be random. Your task is to pick the impostor AI sequence.
The game is designed to educate players about how AI struggles to create true randomness. AI models tend to produce patterns that humans perceive as random but contain subtle biases, while true random number generators produce sequences that can actually look less random to human eyes. This creates an interesting reverse-Turing test where you're spot-checking AI behavior.
This tool is for anyone curious about AI limitations, game enthusiasts who enjoy quick brain teasers, developers learning about randomness, educators teaching about AI behavior, and tech enthusiasts wanting to understand the differences between human-perceived randomness and actual randomness. The game is completely free, requires no signup, and plays directly in your browser.

Frequently asked questions about Bot or Not
What is Bot Or Not?
Bot Or Not is a browser game where you identify which of 4 sequences is AI-generated pretending to be random. The other 3 sequences are actually from true random number generators.
How do I play?
Simply look at the 4 sequences shown on screen and click on the one you believe was generated by AI. The AI sequence pretends to be random but contains detectable patterns.
Is the game free?
Yes, the game is completely free with no paid plans, subscriptions, or hidden costs. You can play as much as you want without any payment.
Do I need to create an account?
No account or signup is required. You can play the game instantly in your browser without any registration.
Why is AI bad at randomness?
AI models are trained on human data and learn patterns humans associate with randomness. These patterns often differ from true mathematical randomness, making AI sequences identifiable.
What devices work?
The game works on any device with a modern web browser, including desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones on both Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
Are there multiple levels?
Currently the game has one core gameplay mode where you identify the AI sequence among 3 random ones. There are no different difficulty levels or game modes.
Does it track my score?
The basic version of the game does not appear to have built-in score tracking, leaderboards, or performance statistics across multiple rounds.
Who created this game?
The game is hosted on Vercel at play-bot-or-not.vercel.app and was created by developer Evan Zhou as a demonstration of AI randomness limitations.
What can I learn from this game?
You learn how AI struggles with true randomness, what patterns AI produces that differ from real random generators, and gain insight into the limitations of AI-generated content.
