A.I.!

[Ratty Sr.]

I don't know if this is old, but I just discovered it. Basically, it's a web application that attempts to guess what you are thinking about by asking you a series of questions about it. It works like this - you imagine an person, place or thing, and the "A.I." asks you a series of general questions that get progressively more specific. To these questions you can give short answers like 'yes', 'no', 'sometimes' and similar. Provided you give honest and accurate answers, the A.I. is guaranteed to guess what you are thinking about after 20 questions or less! I don't know what kind of an algorithm the designers implemented here, but it works almost flawlessly - the application had no problems guessing stuff like 'slippers', 'speakers' and 'penis', sometimes taking even less than nominal 20 responses. Simply brilliant!

[The Commissar]

That website is older then Odin!

 

[Ratty Sr.]

Oh my God... I thought I might give Mr. A.I. something challenging for a change so I decided to imagine something abstract. I tried 'courage'... believe it or not, he got it right! Un-fucking-believable. This application is smarter than me!

 

[Gonzalez]

almost got it, but it couldn't find out. It was pretty close though.

 

[King of Creation]

This thing is dumb. It couldn't even guess that I was thinking of a 40.

 

[Gonzalez]

Tried it again, I imagined an assault rifle and it said it was some kind of instrument to fix tires... buuuu!

 

[Marek]

Well, I was thinking of a tentacle, it's guess after 20 questions was a water balloon, and 15 questions later it was still struggling. That was when I decided to close the window.

 

[Ratty Sr.]

Give me a break. I imagined boobs, condoms, ass, pussy and dick, and it always guessed it 'had something to do with sex'. This thing rocks.

I'm surprised it didn't guess 'Microsoft'.

 

[Gonzalez]

This thing rocks.

Well... let's not exaggerate, okay?

 

[The Vault Dweller]

Its pretty impressive even if after more than twenty questions it couldnt guess "Virginity".
-
I am guessing that it is anti-matter?
Yes , No , Close
28. Does it get wet? No.
27. Do you use it at work? No.
26. I guess that it is pregnancy? Close.
25. Can it be washed? No.

It doesn't have virginity in the dictionary. I checked. It would be same as me thinking about floccipaucinihilipilification and asking that you guess it.

Ratty, You'll love this:

 

[Marek]

You don't even want to get close to guessing that, mister AI.

 

[Silencer]

It doesn't have virginity in the dictionary..

I wonder if it has "dinosaur" or "tasmanian wolf"

 

[Ratty Sr.]

Ratty, You'll love this:

I already got that once when I imagined 'devil'. Funny thing is, he eventually guessed 'devil', but after more than 20 questions. Ha!

 

[Ekarderif]

It seems to have trouble with the word "pants". I've tried twice and both times it's gone over the twenty question limit.

 

[Ozrat]

You won!

8)

I was thinking "Math" and guessed with "Pi" and "Diagram/Graph" before it conceeded me the rightful victory.

 

[Wooz]

Hah. It couldn't guess Art. *Ka ching!*

 

[Flop]

This appeared after it guessed my zombie.

[Ratty Sr.]

You guys suck at this. He guessed both Math and Art for me (though neither in first 20 questions).

I bet Calculon would have no problems communicating with him... uh, it...
