    Default 20 questions AI

    I was very impressed, it won very easily. I was able to stump it with "vending machines" though. Better than a human.

    The poor thing came so close to guessing it (see #27) but I'm one of those hardass obsessive types that can't be hypnotized etc.

Can you order it at a restaurant? Depends. 18. Is it straight? No. 17. Can it bend without breaking? No. 16. Can it fit in an envelope? Irrelevant. 15. Do you hold it when you use it? Yes. 14. Is it white? Irrelevant. 13. Is it made of metal? No. 12. Is it found on a desk? Irrelevant. 11. Can you read it? Irrelevant. 10. Does it have writing on it? Maybe. 9. Do most people use this daily? Yes. 8. Do you use it at night? Irrelevant. 7. Is it made of plastic? No. 6. Can you smell it? Depends. 5. Is it considered valuable? Rarely. 4. Does it have lots of buttons? No. 3. Does it have a hole in it? No. 2. Does it break if dropped? Sometimes. 1. It is classified as Other.

    Interesting.

    I beat the poor slob with 'emergency exit'.

    But exactly what will this program achieve over time? It says at the end:

    It does not matter if our answers disagree, as over time the game will change its answers to reflect common knowledge.

    I'm not sure that the program will become more accurate by sorting and indexing the 'common knowledge' contained in our 'yesses' and 'no's'.

    I am not familiar with the sort of software commonly used for this sort of thing. However, I am familiar with most of the logical operations it performs, as well as the math (Ven diagrams etcetera) behind it. But I am all too familiar with the highly creative logical operations performed by some, if not most of my fellow-humans. Will the program be able to correct for the x-percentage of unclarity, divergent experience as well as sheer stupidity in the answers it gets?

    Example. According to the program, another respondent has answered 'probably' to the question if emergency exits are used by basketball players. Well yeah, they probably are, but not by basketball players as such, i.e. not as part of the game. Since I assumed that was the point of the program's question, my answer had been 'no, not used by basketball players'.

    I would love to see some analysis by someone smarter and more computer literate.
