As AI automates everything, The Atlantic is building games by hand
The Atlantic is bucking the AI automation trend with a new trivia game handcrafted by “Jeopardy!” champion and senior editor Drew Goins.
In an era where businesses are utilizing AI to streamline operations and expedite product development, The Atlantic is adopting a distinctly manual approach to its latest venture: a trivia game called Rabbithole. The creation of this game is spearheaded by Drew Goins, a senior editor at The Atlantic. Goins, a former champion of "Jeopardy!", aimed to develop a trivia game tailored for The Atlantic's "incredibly intelligent subscriber base".
His inspiration stemmed from his own frequent browsing habits: starting with an Atlantic article, clicking on a hyperlink, and subsequently opening multiple tabs. This interactive game is part of The Atlantic's continuous innovation efforts, proving that even in the age of AI automation, manual creativity and handcrafted experiences can still captivate audiences.
