Bot Or Not 1

What it does

Bot Or Not presents players with a series of images with a description from recent news articles to leave short comments on. Players can then look at comments made by either other players, or by Gemini's chatbot - and win points if they guess which the poster was correctly, or if their comments fooled other players in thinking they were bots.

The news API being used returns image links as well as descriptions from articles related to a topic the player can toggle through - these images and their corresponding description are used to generate content using the gemini-1.5-flash-latest generative model. Variation in the bot comments comes from a using one of a random selection of system instructions asking the chatbot to adopt various personas/mannerisms of speech - all intended to mimic comments players would leave. The generation request is made with a simple "What are your thoughts on seeing this image?"

All images/artwork for the app was generated using Gemini as well 😌
