Check this out! It’s creepy how well it works sometimes.
If you’re too lazy to click, it’s an AI program that plays 20 questions with you to guess whatever thing you’re thinking of. It has a huge, growing database that learns as more people play.
If you play, post interesting things it guessed (or didn’t guess) and how many questions it took.
It got to about thirty or so questions before it gave up on guessing my beef jerky. However, when I won, it did suggest that might have been what I was thinking of, along with a list of several other itme,s then scolded me for picking the “wrong” answers to some quetions.
What I was thinking of (a film reel) was not in their knowledge base (though “movie” and “film/camera” was). After 30 questions, it gave up.
It took 30 questions to guess duck. I didn’t think duck would be that hard.
I can’t wait 'till the techno-utopians get ahold of this… :rolleyes:
Has anyone noticed recent commercials for a little device that plays Twenty Questions with you? (Also called 20Q, I believe.)
I was kind of hoping that the 20q.net people found a way to make a little moola off their project.
I always enjoy 20q.net’s “spontaneous knowledge” – “a squirrel is not a mineral!”
I was thinking of Mardi Gras beads. It kept giving me various precious stones.
“Is it a garnet?” No.
“Is it a ruby?” No.
“Is it turquoise?” No, it’s a fucking plastic necklace!
No fun.

Hmm, for me it got “beef jerky” in 26 questions.
It didn’t “get film” reel.
It got “duck” in 18.
It didn’t get Mardi Gras beads.
Haha, I guess this thing is turning out to be a disappointment. Oh well.
(BTW Hello Again, that 20Q toy is in fact made by the 20Q.net people. There is a link for it over to the right of the main page)
I was thinking “Eliza” and it couldn’t figure that out, although its first guess was ‘20Q’ so I guess it wasn’t too far off.
It got skunk in 20, twig in 28 (although in hindisght, some of my answers weren’t great), traffic cone in 18, and politician wasn’t in its knowldge base.
Cool.

:dubious:
You were trying to get a website to flash its tits at you???
It guessed archaeopteryx, pterodactyl, and stegosaurus before giving up (I was thinking of a basilisk).
It worked out that the SDMB was a web page.
it got “highlighter pen” in 17 questions, and “can” in 28 . . . guess where I’m doing this from . . .
African Violet in 16. I find this AI much more fun.
I stumped it with Band Saw. It guessed table saw, which was close, but I still won. Yay!
Got “Candle” in 23… not bad!
It guessed “mouth” “lips” and suggested “sphincter” when I was trying “vagina”.
about 3 questions in, it asked, “is it furry?”
WTF is a band saw?
20Q took 26 to get rattlesnake. **Little Bird’s ** site is fun. Here is my first result.
After awhile, it asked me if I was an idiot. I said, “yes” and it then asked me if I was George Bush, from America!
