Soda Jerk Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Akinator, the Web GeniusThink of a person, fictional or otherwise. Answer basic questions about him or her, and this clever little cunt will guess it. It's awesome.I started off basic at first, as it guessed Tobias Funke, Boomhaur from King of the Hill and Carlos Tevez. So I tried to really test it, but it still managed to guess Ian Mackaye and Darren fucking Mackie. He doesn't miss a trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootray Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 He doesn't know Steve Paterson. What a shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I was thinking of Darren Mackie but instead I got Kenny Miller, the rich mans Mackie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oedo 808 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I gave it a try with Les Dawson and at first it guessed George Fornby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skacel Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 So far it has managed to get Peter Griffin & Bin Laden but gave me Barry the crab instead of Paul Hartley.Aw fuck it got it after I carried on! 8o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootray Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 When asked to put Steve Paterson in the database, I described him as "Alcoholic Manager" which I think is a fair representation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I thought of Clangers and got Robert Douglas!! Its still pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I have a Simpson's Q & A in the shape of a pink doughnut, and you think of ANY Simpson's character, regardless of how obscure, and answer Yes / No questions and it guesses them. I reckon it's right about 90% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 It got Willy Wonka in 15 questions, though it showed the Johnny Depp one and I meant the Gene Wilder one.Also it guessed Velvet Sky when I was thinking of Angelina Love. Right tag team, wrong Tag team partner, but I let it slide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsen B Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Whatever any says i think this is pretty impressive. It got Robert Louis Stevenson after about 10 questions and although it took until his second guess he got Lou Reed.And Henrik Larsson from the facts that it's a soccer player who played at world cup 2006 and isn't Russian or Ukrainian!Edit: And Klaus Kinski in less than ten questions!! I love this thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Jack Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 It successfully got Major Richard Winters of Easy Co. 101st Airborne Battallion (real life character from Band of Brothers)That's pretty impressive, I think because it doesn't make it obvious that it's going in the right direction before making a guess, e.g. in the above example, there were no obvious questions like, 'is he from a mini-series?', or 'is he a soldier?'. It was all just general questions, like is he American? Does he have black hair? Then bam - photo of the real guy.Cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 It guessed Martin Brundle, but failed to get Tony Wright from Terrorvision, or Sonny Pike. Who isn't actually famous so fair enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltz Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 It didn't get Jay Gatsby. Will try again.He got Alex outta 'A Clockwork Orange'. This guuuuuy!EDIT: This is fucking amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Nice Andrew Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Didnt get Dr. Zoltan belisk, i have defeated machine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I've beaten it with Ryu Murakami, Nguyen Trai, Allan Holdsworth and Hun Sen. With Murakami it got hung up on him being a drummer, I couldn't give it enough straight yes or nos with Allan Holdsworth, Nguyen Trai is probably too obscure for English speakers. Hun Sen was pretty fair though, it guessed Kim Jong Il, then Karzai, then Pol Pot.I agree the amazing thing is how it can guess answers with information that just seems far too general. The only time I was sure it was going to guess right was Omar Little. Can't be that many gun totting fictional criminals who like men.

Shaki Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I thought of Clangers and got Robert Douglas!! Its still pretty cool.To be fair Big Rab was also involved in an accident with boiling water on a bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 He got Mark Renton without any mention of Scotland, drugs or a book. I'm sure it was just European, not English or French, partially famous due to cinema, doesn't have black hair, is not an animal or robot, and hasn't killed anyone. o_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
