It did "video game console" in 20 questions. It did think about the xbox 360, but video game console is fair enough. :) I have to be going man.. why did you release this bomb of not-going-anywhere now? ;P

Old stuff. :) I thought of Dagger, but there was no way it could guess it within 20 questions. I changed it to Knife after that(no relevant questions were asked before that), and after asking if people use it for cooking, it guessed Knife after 29 questions.

Cheers, Vıkram.

hmmm..Yeahh.. I purposefully obfuscated it. :laugh: , when I call something a "surprise" I want that to be a real surprise rather than exposing everything out and making it lose it's meaning. But damnit, I should have replied to you. Sorry Vik. :sigh: .Okay.. put the aqua-lung on again, we'll talk down there :-D..bblk..bllgk..*bubbles*

It did mobile phone in 28 and bottle of water in 26.... not good enough! :cool:

AHH! Binary tree! It stores new data in the right place in the tree structures, so it seems to be smarter everytime. It's really nothing special.

But does it work?

The tigress is here :-D

Gary Kirkham

:cool: After several tries, I beat it with Jim Croce. It finally guessed in 24.

I doubt they're using a binary tree. I'm thinking directed acyclic graphs...

For me it did Andruw Jones in 19 questions, Wrigley Field in 20 questions and Neo (from Matrix) in 22 questions.

actually, it doesn't get any smarter at all. It is a multi-leaf database storage system. By traversing the multi-leaf system you can store exponential amounts of data. When you defeat it with say... William Rowan Hamilton, someone reviews your answers with the historical record. They may get a chuckle out of answering was he "popular in the 80's" but doubtful, since he received acclaim in the 1880's and a rebirth in the 1980's in only the gaming market. Was he involved in a controversy? yes, though again the eye-roll since the controversy over a mathematical discovery is considered rather "boring". But in the end, a database operator will assign the leaf storage nodes to William Rowan Hamilton, and he will then be accessible through the index. It is generally called a minimal depth tree. :) I use them regularly. Very handy, but just storage.

I tried it and you can see that a lot of players were actually incorrect about what they answered which threw it off.

:-O I was first introduced to that about a year ago or more. I did exactly that. I lied outright about everything, or at the very least exaggerated. Though it still guessed it when I tried to say Elvis Presley was still alive.... :wtf: I began wondering how many other people were doing just that same thing, so I stopped and ignored it for a while. Now when I see it, I just pick the most obscure mathematicians and physicists or even philosophers I can find. :) I actually beat it more often now than I did when I was lying to it. :) Too many people lie predictably, making it easier on the database. Bread is bigger than a breadbox type thing. It doesn't lead it far enough away from the truth.

Ummm...yeah. I don't think anyone really believes the software gets smart; it's the illusion that's interesting.

Actually, there is some revolutionary work being done on simulating neuron behavior using supercomputers. Its pretty fascinating in a nerdish way. :)

But is the software really getting smarter? It seems there's an interesting blurring between real intelligence and simulated. Same goes for emotions: for example, Kismet[^] displays human emotion to a remarkable degree -- but is it really emotional? Or is it just simulating emotions? I think there's a parallel between that and computer intelligence.

actually, it is neither emotional, nor simulating emotions, it is parotting programmed responses. The issue comes down to storage/replay or simulation when it actually understands the relative differences. True simulation would understand what emotion is, and emulate it via an action/reaction at a much higher level. You can argue that there is no difference, and some people do. Computer intelligence, as generally referred to by most people, is not intelligence at all. Many people can argue the difference, as I said. But you know when you are sad, you have an understanding of what sadness means, you did not choose to be sad, or happy, though sometimes you might try. You can influence emotions, but they are simply a different part of the nature of the brain. Neuron simulation is coming closer to an action/reaction set on a much higher level than ever before. This may not seem much different, but the difference is that the computer is actually learning how to store it itself the same way we do. The result is a growing/changing system of storage and reaction patterns that we do not control. The computer learns better ways to store things and better ways to react. It is no where near human concept, but it is the closest on a neuro-biological level to our methods of interacting. That is what makes it different than the rest.

That's a stupid game! And there's no AI there! Just a lot of data!
