| Ghost in the Machine? |
A funny thing happened today at Elevation, our downtown internet lounge and coffee shop. A friend of ours, Michael, came by and I demonstrated to him the 20 questions game available at 20q.net. He picked an object, not telling me what it was, and I asked him the questions that the computer gave me, inputting his response. Here is a transcript:
1. It is classified as Other. (Animal, Vegetable, Mineral or other)
2. Is it something you bring along? Sometimes.
3. Can it fit in an envelope? No.
4. Can you play games with it? Yes.
5. Is it hard? Yes.
6. Can you use it to hit something? No.
7. Would you find it in an office? Rarely.
8. Does it come in a box? Yes.
9. Is it considered valuable? Doubtful.
10. Can it make a sound? Irrelevant.
11. Can you use it at school? Yes.
12. Does it fold up easily? No.
13. Can it be washed? No.
14. Is it human powered? Yes.
15. Is it made out of wood? No.
16. Does it have a hard outer shell? Yes.
I am guessing that it is a Rubik's Cube? :
And guess what: it was a Rubik's Cube!!! Pretty good guess. I hope John Conner's paying attention to all this.

You can have all that fun with a $10 toy, based on the same AI the website has aquired, but even more accurate because it understands less objects and therefor gets confused less.
More info here.
Buy it at Amazon here.
