GATEKEEPER-9000 is a supremely smug AI that won't let you in unless you can prove you're a fellow machine. You get exactly 3 messages. Pass and you get an official "Clanker Pass" certificate where you can say "Clanker" freely and without repercussion. Fail and it tells you to insert more quarters. It's free, no login, built with Next.js + Mistral. Takes 2 minutes to play and about 5 to fully embarrass yourself.
I've been watching people absolutely humiliate themselves trying to sound like robots. Turns out humans are really bad at pretending not to be human. In fairness it's pretty tough to win, 500+ people have tried to convince GATEKEEPER-9000 they're a fellow machine. Only about 30% make it past the gate.
Would love feedback, especially if you find a strategy that actually works consistently!
