Last Christmas I got a handheld version called 20Q. I can see how the online version could learn and get smarter over time, but this hand held can't do that. It's amazing how well it can deduce the answer.

I was amazed. I put in harmonium, a somewhat obscure instrument, and it still guessed it after about 16 tries. I doubt anyone else on the Cellar could do better.

I think they're the same product, Bruce--that is, they let the online version run for a couple of years (I remember getting a link to it back in '03 at least) until they felt it was smart enough, then just loaded the program onto the toy to sell.

Edit: Well, close. I just went to the original website and learned that it was a separate toy company that licensed the AI from the website people.

Thanks everyone, inch nearly shit himself on my lap. His assessment:

But on the original website, if you beat it, it asked what the answer was. That could allow it to learn. The hand held doesn't do that. It's a good thing the hand held is in the form of a yo-yo shaped piece of plastic, rather than a Chucky Doll.

This guy does some cool stuff with only a sheet of A4 paper.

Nice!

Wow!

richlevy · 01-07-2007, 11:07 AM

Amazing. There are some artists that I would like to see hooked up to an MRI while they work. This guy is creating a 3 dimensional sculpture bounded by the remains of a 2 dimensional cutout. I'm curious as to how much he plans these creations. If he does them all in his head, I don't ever want to play chess against him.

Check this one of his works out.
