Hey guys - just bought myself a "20Q" 'intelligent' game, which seems to (uncannily) guess what you are thinking of, by way of asking you various questions regarding said object.

Look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20Q

I am absolutely AMAZED and intrigued by this gadget... and it only cost me £9.99 from Argos!. For all those people interested in artificial intelligence - GET ONE NOW.

:)

I did that on 20q.net, I was very suprised. I chose a computer; The questions had nothing to do with it, then at the end, " I am guessing that it is a personal computer?".

Wow :P

Next one I thought water; guessed music, I said it was wrong, then guessed water.

Next was jim morrison; guessed right.

This thing is cool :P

I was thinking Taka from feeder which it didn't quite get (asking me if it was a band 20 questions after me telling it was a person) It got "Feeder" for me in 28 questions... not too shabby

I was thinking of that, but decided against it; didn't think it would have a chance of getting it.

I didn't think it could get jim morrison, saving private ryan, or jerry garcia either though :P

It's not AI, it's just an insanely big IF{} statement. Although that raises the question, when does something go from being cases and boolean args to being AI? I'd have to throw sentience in there.

It got Operating System after 20 (I was trying to get Linux)

Ive only used one once; i chose deoderant (first thing |I saw as I looked round the room) It couldnt work it out! (I had to think for a while about the question "does it make people happy?" There isnt a "depends if you inhale it" buuton)
