Typing Speed Test

How many words per minute can you type?
• Type the text exactly as it appears INCLUDING all punctuation and CAPITALIZATION
• There is no answer box, just start typing
• Make sure to type the space at the end of each line
• Uncorrected errors will reduce your speed score

And... it turns out the AI did some oopsies, adding multibyte characters which are hard to type on about 7% of the passages.

Also there was one in Russian for some reason.

AI did some oopsies? I am truly shocked.

It sounds like it would have been better overall AND less work for you if you used the types of examples WhiteRaven gave instead of spending 650 AI prompts on this.

Like, genuinely, I'm questioning how much AI you use on this website in general. Has it been selecting trivia questions for you, too? I hope not, given every model is confidently incorrect at least some of the time, and given every model *emphasizes* our shared biases, rather than actually pursuing truth.

The AI creep has been turning me away from Jetpunk more and more. I want to say this is the final nail in the coffin — but knowing me, I'll come crawling back soon enough.

Even if don't come crawling back, you WON'T have lost a valuable customer in me (since I've used an adblocker most of the time). But, I doubt I'm alone in my sentiments on the AI creep. I expect you'll slowly bleed users the longer and more comprehensively you involve AI with Jetpunk. Of course, you have the data to know whether that's actually happening, and/or maybe this slow-bleed is outpaced by Jetpunk's growth anyways.

Whatever the case, this long-time freeloader (me) is not loving it.

Stuff is best when by humans for humans. 650 AI prompts vs the vast, vast amount of work in the public domain is a baffling choice. There's not really reason to generate new content for a typing test. Typing tests have existed for a long time, all have used real quotations, and that hasn't been a problem. Feels lifeless and duplicitous to an extent.

What "AI creep"? We don't use AI to write questions. We've used it on a small number of thumbnails. Less than 1% overall, and we're reducing that.

However, this feature is a perfect use of AI, without which it would not have been possible to create.

It would have taken hundreds of hours to compile and edit suitable typing passages from public domain texts.

And the AI-written ones are much better for the purpose of a TYPING test. For one, they are all standardized at an 8th grade reading level. Random selections of pre-1931 text would not be.

It's not meant to be high art, it's a typing test.

Regarding copyright... with AI, the waters are murky. However, finding "copyright-free" stuff online that isn't super old is almost impossible (thank you Berne convention). It would be cool to have some old speeches/book passages, but everything modern, including Wikipedia articles, is under copyright unless it has been expressly dedicated to the public domain. Sure, in Wikipedia's case CC-BY-SA-4.0 and GFDL aren't very strict licenses, but it would still require a bit more work than just copy/paste to comply with the licenses. And being part of what is maybe sorta copyright infringement is a whole lot better than actual definite copyright infringement.

So, for all I'm generally opposed to AI, this does seem like a good use for it... it would be great if users could submit new texts too, although that might be hard to keep standardized.

Maybe add a countdown timer, or have the timer start on first keystroke? I think having the test text visible for at least a few seconds before the timer starts would make for a more accurate test of typing speed as opposed to reading/reaction time.

119 wpm on first attempt, with having to fix many typos and being stuck in certain commas. I had no idea only 0.1% of test takers scored that.. (I thought it would be around 5%). I usually score between 150-180 WPM when typing with no punctuation and capitalization.

Keyboard layout: QWERTY, on a laptop keyboard (no external keyboard)

I'm a non-native English speaker.

This is a great addition. It'd be great if there were customizable durations (other than 60 seconds), or even typing in other languages.
