What we reward AI for helps shape how it behaves.What should we reward it for?
During training, rewards help shape a model’s responses and decisions—and the future we create with it. Training data and design matter too. The future takes shape through people, AI, discoveries, and choices interacting. Explore five questions about the incentives we build around AI, and add your perspective.
Your answers contribute to this discussion. They do not directly train an AI model.
We can imagine many futures; our choices help shape the one we live. You do not need to predict it or be an expert to participate. Your answers add your perspective to this public discussion.
Your result is an artifact.
Keep it, share it, or ask what it implies.
Want to change an answer?
Your choices stay editable on this device.
One result is useful. A growing public signal is more useful.
Next, add one thing you want people building AI to remember — or jump straight to the live view.
One thing AI builders should never forget.
You can participate even if you skip the five questions. Pick a theme and, if you want, leave your own words. No name or email required.
Starting from zero is part of the experiment.
These are real counts from this project. Nothing is seeded, inflated or hidden because the number is small.
A public picture does not exist until people make it.
The goal is not to claim that a small sample speaks for everyone. It is to build a transparent record that becomes more informative as participation grows.
What you choose to use.
Tools spread because people adopt them, recommend them and build habits around them.
What you reward.
Attention, money and loyalty all teach builders what people value.
What you refuse to normalize.
Norms change when enough people say a behavior should not become ordinary.
What you ask institutions to protect.
Public expectations eventually become standards, contracts, governance and law.
Explore the questions with AI.
Ask for an explanation, challenge the site’s premise, or explore a different view. You can also take the conversation in your own direction.
The AI receives what you send in this chat. Your quiz answers and voice comments are not shared automatically. “Ask AI about this result” lets you review your result summary before sending it.
What is this experiment really asking?
The five questions move from goals, to competition, to dependence, to control, to what “winning” should mean.
Why these five questions?
What are the three deeper frameworks?
What is HASASAY actually asking?
“What game will humanity teach increasingly intelligent systems that they are playing?”
This project began as one conversation about who might win the AI race. The question kept changing until the conversation became an experiment.
