Qualia

Qualia is a retro-inspired interactive fiction game in which you analyze two participants’ answers to a series of questions and categorize each as Human or Artificial. The A.M.T. Study is designed to assess whether an AI can convincingly appear human, not to measure intelligence. You decide whether the participants are human or artificial.

The A.M.T. Study

The study is run by Intellica, which believes positivity and happiness are keys to self-sustaining thinking programs. As you assess the participants, the game raises the question of whether they are really human—and whether you are.
