Show HN: Can you beat an AI at "being human" using one word? (turingduel.com)

1 points by jacob_indie ↗ HN
I built TuringDuel, a Turing Test game where each move isjust one word. It's based on a research paper called "A Minimal Turing Test". You play human vs AI until one hits 4 points; an AI judge scores each round.

I’m collecting data to benchmark different models as both players and judges (OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini / Mistral / DeepSeek), but I only have ~45 games so far and need way more before publishing comparisons. (5 AI players and 4 judges at random gives 20 different game setups to evaluate)

It's fully free (I pay for all the tokens), not even a signup required for the first game: https://turingduel.com

Questions + criticism welcome! I will share aggregated results once there’s enough signal.

Kind of ironic "Poop" is the word that stands out the most. But having an AI judge it seems weird. To get a true benchmark, the judge must be a human who is susceptible to the 'irrational' cues (like 'Poop' or humor) that the original paper highlighted.
