that's fun

infinite monkey · 01-03-2012, 08:30 PM

That's really fun.

He guessed mine, and I thought it was hard!

monster · 01-04-2012, 12:06 AM

That's really bad/out-of-date. I did UT, there just aren't catgories for people you know online. The third guess was my ex-boss. (1 = father's friend 2 = doorman!) Maybe I'm too critical -AI programming was my main project for my bachelors...

...but for a program run online, you'd think there'd be allowance for online "relationships"?

if you defeat it, it will ask you to pick the answer from a list or add an entry to its database. you can add an online friend.

It got TK 421 - the only named stormtrooper in the original trilogy star wars.

Isn't this how they got the logic for those 20 questions games you can buy, crowdsourcing the logic then when it was accurate enough hard wiring it into a commercial product.

Expect akinator at stores next Christmas.

EDIT: Woah, it got Mrs Miggins from Blackadder

infinite monkey · 01-04-2012, 08:27 AM

For me, it got HR Pufnstuf!

that's not surprising at all. I would have guessed that too.

infinite monkey · 01-04-2012, 08:59 AM

I got a couple answers that differed from what the program expected (you can review them when you're done.)

Like, it asked me if my character was over 40. Now how the heck would I know HR's age?

But did it get the last Hobo you killed? huh?

infinite monkey · 01-04-2012, 11:12 AM

He was nameless, and faceless. An everyhobo.

Spexxvet · 01-04-2012, 11:21 AM

Got
Korben Dallas
Mao
Bernadette from Big Bang Theory

infinite monkey · 01-04-2012, 11:27 AM

Miracle Whip, too.

Sundae · 01-04-2012, 12:29 PM

We've had this before somewhere.
It's fun, but I think I checked out everyone I wanted to the last time.

I was impressed it got Scott Gill.
But that's probably too many other JB fans with too much time on their hands.

Happy Monkey · 01-04-2012, 01:06 PM

It got "Hands of Blue" from Firefly, long before the questions made me think it was close.
