BEFORE YOU BEGIN
These are adaptations, not direct quotations. Wording has been anonymized and modernized: identifying names, group labels, technical details, and dated vocabulary have been removed or replaced so they do not give away the answer. The aim is to preserve the substance of each claim, without making it stronger or weaker. Each reveal explains the edits and links to the original text.
This compares forms of reasoning about understanding, experience, agency, and moral standing. It does not establish AI consciousness or equate human oppression with the treatment of AI. Some human-side claims are abusive or discriminatory.

Human or AI?
THE REVEAL
Your result
Which statements surprised you?
This is a deliberately selected, edited set of statements, not a scientific test. Its score cannot establish how common this rhetoric is, whether two arguments are equally justified, or whether AI has an inner life.
The comparison invites a narrower question: what evidence should we require before turning claims about another being’s understanding or experience into rules about whose interests can matter? Historical human abuses have their own contexts and consequences. A similarity in wording does not erase those differences.
