This is terrible, I was told that the person on the other side will be attempting to impersonate a robot. (This is the scoring.) And that I myself am supposed to impersonate a robot. So I wrote texts in advance and then copy/pasted the most relevant one, ignoring what the other person said. (To look like I'm a robot.) Some of them (like in response to "how are you") that I wrote were pretty reasonable, other responses by me kind of non-sequitur. Meanwhile, the other person acted JUST like a robot. So I picked human, since I thought they were impersonating a robot well, as requested. Not being a poorly programmed robot. (As shown.) The game scoring needs to be updated. By the way this is my strategy if the incentives were reasonable: I would teach the other person literally anything that I just came up with, and see if they can learn it. Robots just can't do that. For example I might say (but I would come up with something different each time). "Okay, first I'll teach you something new that I came up with (to prove you're human to me) then you teach me something new you came up with (for me to prove I'm human to you). Absolutely anything new counts. Okay, my new thing is the game of Pirate, I just came up with it [this will be different each time.] I'll say an activity, and you tell me why pirates hate it. Doesn't matter if it's reasonable or not. Ready?" "Yes". "Okay, filing taxes." "Uh ... pirates hate it because... they don't like laws? Or the government" "Okay good now you". "Contradict me." "Okay." "This game sucks." "No it doesn't, it's great!" "Okay we're both human haha." "Yeah totally." Now granted this will only work with pretty creative people who can invent a totally new game on the spot. And if any two people ever invent the same new game it might have a false positive. But on the whole I have zero doubt that it works. I tried it with OK Google. Couldn't teach her anything.

Someone replied >My strategy works really well - I start telling a role-play themed joke and if they play along they're human. This works great because it's based on common sense, entertains humans, and is a complex social performance that won't ever be the same. But then deleted their comment. I think it's a great strategy but under the link we're discussing, why does the other person play along if they're trying to convince you they're a robot? If they play along the jig is up. I guess maybe they meant they do that on something like Tinder (which has a lot of spambots in some geographies) rather than in this actual game.
