Same for me. The UI is not obvious.
We live in crazy times - but can you tell how crazy?
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's hard to distinguish fake from real
Have fun!

Very good. I thought I'd have no trouble but did. On windows , where there's loads of room, if you had fake and true to either side of the cards that would be helpful
Fun idea!
I will say that the interface feels a bit mobile-first to a fault: the swiping interaction isn't very desktop friendly. It'd be nice to have some buttons to click on for those of us using mice or trackpads.

You're absolutely right. We'll add that.
I don't think I can agree with the claim about perfect grammar, a lot of the fake headlines had grammatical errors.
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.
Examples
> The haunted is not what we think it's
> The Most Common Words You'd Name You... But Couldn't Names
Grammatical error
> These adorable pets are supporting the womens march
Just typical clickbait
> Shane Nakua's Cameo Line is just like any young girl's face
I don'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't distinguish them before making my choice. I'm using adblocker and an old version of chrome though, so might only be a problem for me. Image: ibb.co/qg9yrMh
Ah, very sorry. I can't fix this spontaneously now, but i'll check it.
Ow, I'm sorry. I'll look into that. What Chrome Version are you on?
Working on a really old computer, realised I had Chrome 67
I think the problem with this is that it’s not fun because it’s too hard :/ headlines have seriously degenerated.
Web gangsters will definetly appreciate this great new training resource! ;)
This made me tilted from losing too much
Me too. My first streak was 6 and I’m not going to beat it
It may be my fault, just giving the feedback in case it can help to improve the UX.
