HOW PREDICTABLE ARE YOU?

Try to Be Random. See Your Hidden Patterns Revealed.

Overview

A quick psychological experiment testing human randomness. You'll pick between three choices (rock, paper, scissors style) 50 times, trying to be as random as possible. Meanwhile, an AI algorithm learns your subtle biases and tries to predict your next choice. At the end, you'll see how predictable you really are—and where the AI caught your patterns.

How to Play

Click to Start: Press START to begin
Pick Fast: You'll see three emoji buttons (🔥, 💧, 🌱 or similar). Click one quickly
Try to Be Random: Deliberately switch between choices to avoid patterns
Repeat 50 Times: Your choices get visualized as dots. Blue = your pick, orange = what AI predicted
See Results: After 50 rounds, get your predictability score and analysis

The Psychology Behind It

Humans Aren't Random: People have unconscious biases in choice-making. We tend to repeat favorite picks or alternate patterns
The Pattern Recognition Game: The AI learns which choice you favor, how often you switch, and your rhythms
No Cheating Randomness: Truly random choices feel unnatural to humans. Even deliberate randomization shows patterns
Confirmation Bias: You might think you're being random, but the data reveals your actual behavior

Interpreting Your Score

Below 40% (Very Predictable): The AI guessed your choice frequently. You have obvious biases or rhythms

40-55% (Normal Predictability): You're about as predictable as most people. The AI occasionally reads you

56-70% (Relatively Random): You vary your choices well. The AI struggles to predict you

Above 70% (Highly Random): Congratulations! You're naturally unpredictable. The AI can barely beat chance

Tips to Improve Your Randomness

Don't Think About It: Overthinking makes patterns more obvious. Faster choices are more random
Avoid Streaks: If you picked fire twice, resist picking it a third time. Humans naturally alternate
Mix Your Timing: Don't develop a rhythm. Sometimes click immediately, sometimes pause
Trust Impulse: Your gut instinct is more random than deliberate strategy
Challenge Yourself: Play multiple times. Your first attempt is usually more random than your 5th

Understanding the Visualization

Blue Dots: Your actual choices
Orange Dots: The AI's predictions
Pattern Strip: Shows your sequence visually. You can spot your own repeats and rhythms
Accuracy Counter: Shows what percentage of times the AI guessed correctly

Why It's Fascinating

Reveals the gap between how random you think you are vs. how random you actually behave
Shows how AI learns patterns from limited data
Demonstrates that human intuition about randomness is often wrong
Fun to retry and try different strategies
