alt Hacker NewsPlease report success/failure after each test. Asking me to read and compare 30 writing samples to get any feedback at all means I won't finish. Telling me immediately when I got one wrong lets me recognize patterns and improve my guesses.

Yea, I did two and then harrumphed in annoyance that I was expected to do all 10.

Wouldn't this make it a worse measurement?

Yes. Did one - saw that I wouldn’t get feedback until I have completed all 10 (if at all) and noped out.

I believe this is to test the theory that people can detect watermarked text.
Teaching you how to identify watermarked text while the experiment is running would ruin the data.

I did five, then gave up and just pressed A until I reached the end. I got 3/5 right.
