Hm. Interesting. Naturally I thought of a helicopter. Here’s what it told me after 29 questions:
(I answered yes; a it has a hole in it.) If a helicopter does not have a hole in it, how does the pilot get in?
(I answered sometimes.) Obviously the AI program hasn’t flown in a helicopter in Southern California in the summer. It can get quite hot under that plexiglass bubble. And the engine gets a bit warm as well.
(I said, “Depends.”) What is tall? It depends on if you are comparing it to a dog, or a skyscraper.

Gawd, I love when it starts guessing, and you can see your item in the list, and you are wishing it up the list, and wondering how in the name of hell it can have “wart, boil, tennis raquet, pimple, spot” … where did that tennis raquet come from?!
It has an orc at first place after 12 questions… lot of fanboys been playing this game Oops! I taught it that an orc probably doesn’t eat nuts… Have I taught it the wrong thing? ANGST
It got fairy in 30 questions, although at first it thought it was cannabis? And just so you all know, you cannot make money by selling a fairy (there goes my idea for a home business), and you would not use a fairy daily (I would), or use it to melt things.

It got earthquake in 29 questions. Not bad, except that it guessed tornado in 20, which should have been close enough to get to earthquake in just another couple of guesses. Even after I told it tornado was close, it still hadn’t ruled out mouse or ghost. (Mouse? Yes, I live in constant fear of the “big one”: an 8.0 magnitude mouse…)
Pretty Cool. It got most of my objects pretty easily. Aircraft carrier in 15, traffic light in 17. I stumped it on headphones though.
The one that blew me away – it got camel spider in 20 questions. And camel spider was its first spider-related guess. I would have thought it would have picked a different species before hitting on that one. Pretty slick.
