A brave, new step in AI?

[senorcromas]

Ha HA! I have beaten it! They have no clue who Nkechi Ka Egenamba is! Ha!

To be fair, they even had Yuzu from Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor and Crowley from Good Omens. It was a tough match.

I stumped it with a couple CFL players (Ricky Ray and Anthony Calvillo). Problem is that theyre both on the list. But Akinator cant seem to get around the concept of them being Americans that reside in America, but play in Canada. Also, after the 2nd and sometimes 1st guess, itll ask about stuff it should already know. Well after i established hes a football player its asking me about if he sings, and non-football questions.

Holy crap, it worked! I tried Jim Raynor...

WOAH! It also got Graham from LRR! Holy crap, this is amazing!

 

[Lt.Snuffles]

Really good this thing!!

It's only gone wrong once, but it was pretty much right so i don't hold it against it. (picked arjen robben instead of wesley snijder)

Search bar approved, this beauty has cropped up on 4chan the past for nights. Don't worry, it's completely safe and SFW. My apology to those who are familiar with it.

We've all pictured the future, and they usually involve extremely smart computer programs running very specific searches for us, rather than trusting Google. So the question is what dos this lovely site mean for that? Think it could be the first step in a new breed of search engine? Think it could be the first step in anyhting in particular? Think it's just one hellova time sink?

Also, as a side note, did it guess your character? I've done it 3 times, Kyle Katarn, Gregor Eisenhorn and Ciaphas Cain... It's managed all 3. I'm about to give Ibram Gaunt a shot.

Hmm, The Escapist seems to have undone/never done my previous 2 edits? Well they basically re outlined the idea. Not AI, but a step forward for the likes of search engines and possible VIs as ME would call them.

this isnt AI, this is a simple tree structured database. every time you eliminate 1 possibility, you eliminate 50% of the choices. from there on out it's easy to narrow it down.

It failed Alec Mason from RF:G. I thought it had it one point, though, asked me if he had a hammer.

 

[Kinguendo]

Seen that before... its just basically "20 Questions" but it asks you to add names and crap if it doesnt guess what you picked.

EDIT: Hehe, it guessed "George W. Bush" after it asked "Did your character get elected twice?" and I answered no! XD

Totally got it right.

 

[theriddlen]

Yvonne Strahovski

It could not find her, unluckily.

 

[Barbie Boy]

while I saw this LONG time ago it was fun to replay it...

and yes he got my chie satonaka right

 

[Mukil]

I thought of genghis khan it, guessed the wrong person and then after 2 questions guessed it right

 

[Giantcain]

it got maiden n black and ostrava of boleteia both correct. thats smart.

it also got old king doran.

 

[AwesomeFerret]

Ha! I beat him! The Monster Hunter is awesome!

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

This thing is so amazing. Guess it got right:

Charles Widmore (Lost)

Berta (Two and a Half Men)

Angel (Dexter)

Conrad Freakin' Verner (Mass Effect)

Harbinger (I guess I shouldn't be surprised after it got Verner)

I did not get "That Douchebag Salarian From Noveria in Mass Effect" (which is fair, because I couldn't even remember his name.) my creative writing teacher (It was worth a shot) and the Elcor Diplomat from Mass Effect 1. Although it did guess "Elcor", but it was talking about the race as a whole.

 

[Stone Wera]

It didn't get Ellen from The Quick & The Dead.

But it did get... Well... Everything else, really.

 

[Diablini]

Oh, my god it guess who it is right away! This is genius!

Totally got it right.

Are you sure the question wasn't "Should your character have been elected twice?"

 

[Duruznik]

My word, I'm impressed! It acutally guessed I was thinking of Cohen the Barbarian on its 3rd attempt.

Edit: But apparently differentiating between Etzio Auditore and Altair is too much for it, heh.

Edit2: No, wait, it got it now. Wow.

 

[TheLefty]

The thing guess comander shepard and the lone wanderer, two very vague, very changeable characters correctly. I'm shocked.

I am sure as elect is to select by vote and he wasnt, thus he was not elected twice.

 

[Kinguendo]

He just guessed The Dog from Duck Hunt correctly... it is quite funny.
