Post subject: Re: OK....this is sick

I won at my 1st attempt thinking of a blimp - the game got close when asked me if it was a plane Mr. Green

I cannot paste the results, 'cause I played the game in Italian, so... but amongst the contradiction the system found in my answers, most are arguable, like for instance:

Does it make happy? I answered "irrelevant", as it wasn't made for that purpose - expected reply: "yes"
Have songs been written on it? I answered "don't know" - expected reply: "no"... ???
Is it straight? I said "partially" - expected reply: "yes"... what does it mean? it's a ball or an oval, do you say an oval is straight?
Does it give comfort? I answered "at times" - it wants to read "no", bah! take a ride on the luxury Hindemburg and you'll take a lot of comfort, at least until it goes ablaze Wink

The fact is that, if this is an expert system, it will learn from the feedback of users, so I guess if I repeat the experiment in a week, it will guess my thoughts, but it might even not, 'cause to several questions apply different answers, according to point of views or even state of mind, and smart as it can be, and expert system can't follow the quirks of people's brains Wink

Anyway, funny, thanks for the heads up, Combat - time ago I spent some months trying (uselessly) to learn LISP - what attracted me was that the main command was "?" Laughing

mine wanted me to say yes for growling (i don't think i've ever heard of a fox growling, lol i thought they were all supposed to be cunning and sneak attack and all that)

and then it wanted me to say it was ferocious, although i think for a fox, rarely did it justice

i mainly answered those because i wanted it to not guess wolf as that wasnt what i had picked

but yea it'll definitely learn so whatever "the people" think, is what it'll be

cool site though for sure
