It was really fun to run this activity - it led to some really suprising discussions about what it means to be human, and the surprising importance of the word poop!

Amazing work! There was a patch of these growing up the valley from where I used to live in the Swiss Alps - amazing to know its back growing here too.

Great family day at the @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social Festival of AI! Children tried a mini turing test, choosing one word to prove they are human. Of course skibidi appeared! We also built a simple image recognition AI, which detected drawings of cats and (sometimes) dogs. @kingsnmes.bsky.social

I'll also be signing books after the event (which feels like a WILD sentence to write 🀣).
