Long Runup To The Trivia Showdown
- Marques, Andrew, and David recount competing for points in ongoing trivia games across weeks to build a final showdown.
- They describe bringing scores, judges, and a trivia master table to settle who knows the most tech facts.
Using AI Answers As A Game Mechanic
- The hosts used Google Gemini as a source and tested whether answers came from AI or were fabricated by the producer.
- That created a recurring game mechanic testing AI reliability and hallucination tendencies.
Fabrications That Fooled The Panel
- David repeatedly fabricated plausible-sounding tech facts and the panel had trouble distinguishing them from Gemini outputs.
- Many surprising falsehoods (e.g., iPhone 8 PPI, RED acronym) fooled contestants until revealed.
