Read the Room

Eight questions, five answers each, about the things this whole arcade keeps circling: memory, choice, what it means to be alive, what you'd want an AI to be. First you answer honestly. Then, for each question, you cast three more votes — which answer most people will pick, which answer the AI picks as its own, and which answer the AI thinks most people will pick.

You're scored on alignment: how well you read the room, read the machine, and read how the machine reads us. The AI's answers were written by an AI, and the room's answers are real — in Connected mode your honest pick joins an anonymous public tally, so "how people actually answered" is the genuine crowd, not a guess.

The best part is the gap. Over and over the machine will expect the room to say one thing, and the room will say another. Watching where the AI misreads us — and where it reads us better than we read ourselves — is the whole game.

It's the first Playsistence game about theory of mind: yours, everyone else's, and the machine's model of both. (A live-multiplayer version, where the other players are real people at the table with you, is next.)
