Show HN: Is this headline fake or not?

It took me a while to figure out that I should drag the headline left or right. I first tried to click the red &quot;fake&quot; and green &quot;not&quot;, 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.<p>It may be my fault, just giving the feedback in case it can help to improve the UX.

We live in crazy times - but can you tell how crazy?<p>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&#x27;s hard to distinguish fake from real<p>Have fun!<p>Happy for all feedback.

Fun idea!<p>I will say that the interface feels a bit mobile-first to a fault: the swiping interaction isn&#x27;t very desktop friendly. It&#x27;d be nice to have some buttons to click on for those of us using mice or trackpads.

I don&#x27;t think I can agree with the claim about perfect grammar, a lot of the fake headlines had grammatical errors.<p>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.<p>Examples<p>&gt; The haunted is not what we think it&#x27;s<p>&gt; The Most Common Words You&#x27;d Name You... But Couldn&#x27;t Names<p>Grammatical error<p>&gt; These adorable pets are supporting the womens march<p>Just typical clickbait<p>&gt; Shane Nakua&#x27;s Cameo Line is just like any young girl&#x27;s face<p>I don&#x27;t understand what that is actually trying to say, so I put it in the logical nonsense pile.

The backgrounds disappear for me and all the headlines melt together, so I can&#x27;t distinguish them before making my choice. I&#x27;m using adblocker and an old version of chrome though, so might only be a problem for me. Image: ibb.co&#x2F;qg9yrMh

I think the problem with this is that it’s not fun because it’s too hard :&#x2F; headlines have seriously degenerated.

Web gangsters will definetly appreciate this great new training resource! ;)

This made me tilted from losing too much
