Show HN: Is this headline fake or not?
- tristan123456 6y agoWe live in crazy times - but can you tell how crazy? Hello HN, A friend and I made this to show two things: - Neural networks have become incredibly good at producing grammatically correct but completely nonsensical text - There are so many nonsensical headlines nowadays, it's hard to distinguish fake from real Have fun! Happy for all feedback. GitHub at https://github.com/TristanMenzinger/IsThisHeadlineFakeOrNot https://github.com/TristanMenzinger/IsThisHeadlineFakeOrNot (frontend only).
- barking 6y agoVery good. I thought I'd have no trouble but did. On windows , where there's loads of room, if you had fake and true to either side of the cards that would be helpful
- sabas123 6y agoThis made me tilted from losing too much
- quickthrower2 6y agoMe too. My first streak was 6 and I’m not going to beat it
- Vagantem 6y agoThe backgrounds disappear for me and all the headlines melt together, so I can't distinguish them before making my choice. I'm using adblocker and an old version of chrome though, so might only be a problem for me. Image: ibb.co/qg9yrMh
- tristan123456 6y agoOw, I'm sorry. I'll look into that. What Chrome Version are you on?
- Vagantem 6y agoWorking on a really old computer, realised I had Chrome 67
- irjustin 6y agoSame problem, OSX 10.15.4, Chrome 83.0.4
- irjustin 6y agoIt was screen size for me. When I shrank it beneath a certain size the cards drew correctly.
- tristan123456 6y agoAh, very sorry. I can't fix this spontaneously now, but i'll check it.
- rgossiaux 6y agoFun idea! I will say that the interface feels a bit mobile-first to a fault: the swiping interaction isn't very desktop friendly. It'd be nice to have some buttons to click on for those of us using mice or trackpads.
- tristan123456 6y agoYou're absolutely right. We'll add that.
- eyx 6y agoIt took me a while to figure out that I should drag the headline left or right. I first tried to click the red "fake" and green "not", I tried to click on the headline, etc. I then realized that it was written in the light grey message to which I was not paying attention. It may be my fault, just giving the feedback in case it can help to improve the UX.
- BrandoElFollito 6y agoSame for me. The UI is not obvious.
- henearkr 6y agoWeb gangsters will definetly appreciate this great new training resource! ;)
- Aeolun 6y agoI think the problem with this is that it’s not fun because it’s too hard :/ headlines have seriously degenerated.
- sdflhasjd 6y agoI don't think I can agree with the claim about perfect grammar, a lot of the fake headlines had grammatical errors. I found the easy way of identifying the real from the fake (aside from the grammatical errors) was basically the absurd or extreme (typical clickbait) vs logical nonsense. Examples > The haunted is not what we think it's > The Most Common Words You'd Name You... But Couldn't Names Grammatical error > These adorable pets are supporting the womens march Just typical clickbait > Shane Nakua's Cameo Line is just like any young girl's face I don't understand what that is actually trying to say, so I put it in the logical nonsense pile.
