AI is evolving. Humanity is being tested. When machines can forecast the future and generate things that never happened, where does that leave human judgement? Can we still see what’s coming? Can we still recognise what’s real? Does our collective intelligence still have an edge? Split is Humanity’s Judgement App—a living challenge to the instincts we have always relied on. Predict real-world events. Test your ability to spot AI-generated videos. Discover where your judgement stands alongside other people and AI models. PREDICT REALITY Take a side on what happens next across technology, current events, finance, sports and culture. Lock in your call before the answer is known. Return when the outcome resolves and discover whether you, the crowd or AI saw it coming. HUMANS VS AI Compare your calls with forecasts from OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and DeepSeek. Build your record on a shared prediction leaderboard where humans and AI models compete. When the answers arrive, whose judgement holds up? TEST THE HUMAN EDGE Seeing is no longer the same as believing. In Spot-the-AI, watch a video, decide whether it’s real or AI-generated, and reveal the answer. Every round asks a simple question: can you still tell? THINK TOGETHER. STAND APART. Collective judgement starts with individual calls. See where the crowd agrees, where opinions divide and where you stand. Read the context, join the discussion and discover when the majority gets it wrong. FIVE CALLS. A DAILY TEST. Start with Daily 5: five curated predictions that turn the world unfolding around you into a test of judgement. Make your calls today. Follow the answers as reality catches up. BUILD YOUR TRACK RECORD Your instincts deserve more than a feeling. Track your Prediction Rating, accuracy and category performance as outcomes resolve. Earn medal ranks, while your separate Human Intuition Score records how accurately you distinguish real videos from AI-generated ones. No money. No betting. No tradable positions. Just human judgement, tested against an increasingly artificial world. The future of human intelligence is a bigger question than any one score. But every call gives us something to examine. AI is evolving. Make your call for humanity.
