Is It Real?

Telling real from fake,
when fakes are free.

AI can now generate a convincing claim, a fake study, a realistic quote, or an entire “crowd” in seconds — faster than anyone can check. The old instinct, “it sounds right, so it probably is,” has quietly stopped working.

Four short, hands-on experiences to feel that instinct fail — and learn what actually separates real from fabricated. Everything runs on your device; no accounts, no tracking. Free to copy and reuse.

Sounds True

Eight claims — guess which are real and which are made up, and watch how sure you feel while you’re wrong. “Sounds true” and “is true” have never been further apart.

The Crowd

A wall of posts all agree — it looks unanimous. Inspect the accounts and watch the “consensus” dissolve. Independence, not volume, is the tell.

The Call

An urgent call comes from someone you love, begging for money — in their exact voice. But AI can clone a voice. Feel the pressure; drill the one move that beats it.

The Long Game

A perfect new connection unfolds over weeks — and every sweet step is a move in a playbook. Feel the pull, learn the pattern of the scam that takes your trust before your savings.

Why these exist. When anything can be faked cheaply, the burden quietly shifts to you — and your gut was never built for it. These won’t make you cynical (one of them is real, and gets more convincing the closer you look). They’ll make you a little harder to fool: ask where a claim comes from, whether a crowd is actually independent, and trust what you can trace over what merely feels right.
