A Tinder for AI literacy

Building Tinder for AI literacy.

My partner showed me a video about a cat doing stuff. It does not matter what it really was, in detail. She was so much into it. Laughing and cheering. Spoiler: it was AI. After I told her, she got upset. Like a lot. I do not want people to be so uncertain about AI content. It abvisouly is a big difference to people if something really happended or not. It is about self care and protection.

Core Interaction: Swipe → Learn

Think of this as Tinder meets Duolingo for AI literacy.

Step 1 — Cold judgment (no spoilers)

User sees: • Image or video • Simple prompt: “AI or Not AI?” • Two actions: • Swipe right → AI • Swipe left → Not AI • (Optional: Swipe up = Unsure)

No metadata. No comments. No hints.

This preserves the gut instinct moment.

Step 2 — Reveal & reflection

Immediately after swipe, you show:

  1. Outcome Not “correct/incorrect” in a shaming way, but: • Community lean: AI / Not AI / Mixed • Confidence level: Low → High • A short line: “This one is controversial. People are split.” or “Strong consensus: likely AI-generated.”

  2. Your sentiment vs others A small vizualisation
