If you know the 20 questions -social (party) game, this is kinda the computer version of that. He can guess a character, and object or an animal. If he cannot guess what’s on your mind, you can teach it to him!
This was the thing some 10 or 15 years ago.
Its abilities are uncanny.
Edit: It got these right:
- Klunk from ratchet 3
- Ano Turtiainen, a local nutjob politician
- Boris Johnson
- Andrei Ulmeyda from Killer7
- Pepsiman
- Hammond from Dead Space
- Crocomire from Super Metroid
- Nick Knatterton
- Mike Ehrmanwhatever from Breaking Bad
- Sopsy, the owner of a local imageboard
- Raikov from metal gear
I’m still able to consistently win with anything more obscure than this.
I remember someone finding this at work like 15 years ago. It was a slow day and we just took turns trying to stump it. Fun times!
This is an ancient project. At some point in the past, I went to this site and it was intentionally broken by its developers, such that it would only guess from a small subset of possible targets, and if your character was outside of that, it would act like it knew the answer, but wouldn’t say unless you gave them money.
I don’t know if that’s changed since then, because that experience ruined it for me, and I won’t be going back there.
Money?? I’ve never seen that happen, at least not on the computer browser. This is the first time I hear about this.
I say “money”, but it was some sort of subscription. Like, become an X member and unlock the entire game sort of thing.
Okay. Well, I never saw any indications of this.
The previous time I used Akinator maybe 1-2 months ago.This was probably over 5 years ago.
Nice that there are changes towards positivity as well!
I think that it was fucking with me. I chose Aladdin and it really didn’t seem like it was going to get it until question 19 “does your character like flying on carpets?”
I’ve noticed that sometimes he gets very close quickly but then drifts away to other questions that seem less relevant. But I don’t mind this myself.
The excitement stays, whether he will guess what I think about or not - I don’t mind answering 60 questions or even 100.
Curse you! This is addictive. I stumped it three times:
Fin Raziel.
Paula Anton.
Alice Three Times.I got it past 20 all but twice. It got Kathleen Kelly and D.C. at 20 and 19, respectively.
At this time of the year - see, how many things related to Halloween it can guess?
They had little hand held digital device for this back in the late 90’s, like a tomagatchi. It was super cool. My wife found one at the thrift store a few months ago and we played with it for a few days. It was able to guess correctly about 95% of the time.
