Bad Quizes

  • Which rhetorical fallacy are you? - The AI got stuck in a thing. Repeated questions, repeated answers, and not in an entertaining way like the cosmic horror quiz (spoiler alert). It’s still pretty fun though.

Ok, but what is it?

This is the Infinite Quiz Machine, a project by me, Chris Paxton.

The quizzes are generated by AI, using Virgil, my library for exploring AI-based storytelling.

Specifically, I used Gemma 2b to generate the text and image prompts, and illustrated the questions and results with Diffusers.

But why?

If you’re an internet dweller of a certain age, you remember constant, bizarre Buzzfeed quizzes that never quite made sense but appeared all over Facebook, Instagram, whatever. A friend of mine was bringing it back, so to speak – sharing similar weird quizzes on Discord – and it made me think that this was the sort of thing AI could do really well, in a way that would be surprising, fun, and a little bit uncanny.

So, we come to AI. The term “slop” is thrown around a lot for AI these days, and the role of AI in the arts is something that I have thought about a lot. I think it does have a role, and while I don’t consider the quizes generated by the Infinite Quiz Machine to be “art” per se, I do think the Machine itself sort of is.

The quizzes are all a bit weird – something that comes very naturally to a large language model that’s being fed its own inputs over and over again. They’re not what people might make, and that’s what makes the Machine so fun; its outputs are like quizzes made by an alien who just barely understands human language and culture.

I think it’s extremely fun and have gotten a ton of enjoyment out of running through endless, bizarre, horribly illustrated personality tests – that somehow still make sense a lot of the time!

I hope you enjoy them too. If you have any feedback, or want to see more, please let me know! You can reach me on Twitter/X or Bluesky.
