Untouched by human hands

The gold-standard test for Quizlab’s efficacy is our software’s ability to produce interesting and amusing quizzes without any human editing of both questions and answers.

That’s a high hurdle — not one, frankly, we’ve yet fully surpassed. But we’re trying!

Thinking about this test, I recalled a New Yorker cartoon about Automat, the midcentury chain that replaced wait-staff with shelves of glass boxes so customers could self-serve. One of Automat’s slogans was “untouched by human hands.” I couldn’t find the cartoon on Google, so asked for ChatGPT’s help reproducing it.

What you see is the second try — ironically, the first iteration featured the spelling “untoucched.”
