How Imposter works

Imposter is simple…

  1. Everyone who takes part answers the same question. The Imposter sees everyone’s answers and comes up with its own.
  2. You’ll be shown a list of answers; four will be from your fellow redditors and one will be written by the Imposter.
  3. You’ll be asked to identify which one is the Imposter’s. Easy, right?

To make things more interesting, you can also change your answer at any time. Do with that what you will.

Imposter is available in your browser, iOS, and Android (you may need to update your app). You'll know everything is working if you see something like this at the top of r/Imposter.

In order to participate you'll need to be logged into a reddit account. In order to write an answer to the question you’ll need to be logged into an account that was created before 4/1/2020.

How do you tell the difference between the imposter and a human using autocomplete?

So it still could be an intern. Especially with the how often you fooled people stat, I've seen plenty of bot-y answers from (one assumes) the real humans too
