AI Voice or Human Voice? Wall Street Journal Launches Interactive Quiz

What Happened

The Wall Street Journal has released an interactive online quiz that asks users to identify whether a voice is generated by artificial intelligence or spoken by a real human.

The quiz features various samples highlighting how far generative AI technology for speech synthesis has come. The launch aims to engage the public and raise awareness about the rapidly closing gap between AI and authentic human communication.
