I got 8/10 correct. I don't read philosophy and I've never heard of Dennett before now.
I used the following techniques:
- If the question has more than one part, the answer should address every part.
- The answer should not repeat itself or be too rambling.
- The answer should not contradict itself. For example, the response that Jerry was "never... less than serious" but also wrote a "hilarious parody".
- The answer should not recommend a book. This demonstrates a lack of context. A lot of people might recommend books when asked these questions in a web forum or in person. But if you know that your answers are going into a quiz to distinguish your own thoughts from AI, you would probably focus on conveying your opinions and not referring to other material. (This is kind of cheating, since I'm using side channel information outside the question and answer texts.)
- Answers with a "yes, and" flavor, that make a surprising but relevant connection to a new idea not mentioned in the question, are more likely to be human. For example, the joke (?) about having a baby in the robot question, or mentioning the use of religion as a tool for social control in addition to its origin as soothing people about frightening unknowns.
- If multiple answers repeat a theme that is tenuously connected to the question, they are probably samples from GPT. For example, mentioning Copernicus in the question about evolution. (This would be harder if we only saw one GPT response!)
These techniques don't require knowledge of Dennett's work. I guess that's consistent with blog readers doing about as well as experts.
