Computers know what we are thinking
The next step of AI, they actually know what we are thinking of, just answer some broad questions, and the computer will guess what you are thinking, it scares me

I even thought of a PG13 item.. use your imagination... it came back and said something to the effect of... Does your mother know what you're thinking of?

Computers shall never be able to top human mind!
How come it sez the object is either an insurance policy or a stock? I was thinking of a railgun!! "What you were thinking is not in my database" LOL. But at least it provided close options, like gun, flamethrowers, rocket launchers, etc.

Its fairly decent - my guess was a DVD (disk), it guessed a CD (disk) on the 20th guess and took another 9 to bring it to DVD.
Tried a router, again went up to 29 questions but got the answer and then argued with me: You were thinking of a router. Is it pleasurable? You said Probably, I say No. very pleasurable when I use something like internet banking/wireless networking and I see those lights flashing or when I see the logs Is it multicolored? You said Yes, I say No. Does it have buttons? You said No, I say Probably. Ok I concede that, there may be some routers with a button? Would you use it in the dark? You said Yes, I say No.Why not? Can it cheer you up? You said Yes, I say No.Look at answer 1 Is it worth a lot of money? You said No, I say Yes. not really in this era are we? |

LOL!
Yeah, it argues with you, like it's YOUR fault it couldn't guess!! Well, if you'd have answered blah, I would have gotten it sooner.... ok, so the AI stinks but at least it's got "sore loser" down perfectly!! hahaha

You gotta give it a break... it's "learning".... while it can't answer the unusual items, and a lot is dependant on interpretation just as it would be if you and I were playing the same game, i was rather impressed how it was able to answer in under twenty questions;
A lava lamp A paper shredder A.... errr... PG13 item A Blender A Remote Control A Digital Camera Brocolli A fart And here is the kicker... this one impressed me the most... and item that doesn't physically exist.... a Phoenix |

Nope.. had nothing to do with that actually... while I am not a religious person, the name Phoenix isn't only a mythical bird, but a biblical name meaning ressurection. We wanted our child to have a different name to stand out from the crowd, and as such, the name Phoenix not only stands out with the younger generation, but satisfies a biblical name for older generations.

Is it just my imagination or did it just get an upgrade with a good deal more choices? " Yes , No , Unknown, Irrelevant, Sometimes, Maybe, Probably, Doubtful, Usually, Depends, Rarely, Partly" I cant remember whether I got so many before.

If you go to the home page you can renavigate to the game.
I tried capacitor. At 28 guesses it said diode, so I clicked on the close button and capacitor was one of the options. It had a lot of contradictions detected though, because the writers have obviously never seen caps that are larger than a bread box or heavier than a duck
