ODD ONE OUT (And Other AI Games for you!)
Google’s new online game, Odd One Out, challenges players to guess which image is generated by AI. Developed by Caroline Buttet and Emmanuel Durgoni, two artists in residence at the Google Arts & Culture Lab, the game presents players with four different artworks and a short amount of time to spot the AI-generated image.
Each time you guess wrong, you lose one of four hearts and each time you guess right, the time in which you have to answer gets shorter and shorter.
The game is not as easy as it sounds.
AI-generated images have come a long way in the last few years. While some AI images are still discernible by the way hands or faces are depicted, the line between what is human-made and artificially produced is blurring more every day.
When you get done playing Odd One Out, you can share your score via social media or email…
So there you go. You can play Odd One Out and try to beat my score of 714, which may not be very good. So, see what you can do and let us know how much better you are than TC is at finding the AI-generated image.
Oh and a couple more things before you go.
Odd One Out is just one of the many AI projects Google is experimenting with, including a word guessing game called XYZ TOY (a hidden word game) which you can play here, as well as a meditative game called Haiku Imagined where Google invites you to “Take a pause: experience traditional and modern haiku lovingly illustrated with AI-generated music, fonts, and video.”
So, when you get done playing “Odd One Out” and beating my very beatable score of 714, you can play XYZ TOY and then relax and take a pause by playing Haiku Imagined.
