• How do you stump it?

    I just played a few rounds. It correctly guessed, on its first try:

    • Twilight Sparkle (it really rubbed my nose in that one – “Is your character associated with My Little Pony?” [Yes] “Does your character have a horn?” [Yes] “Does your character have a pet dragon?” [Yes] “Does your character like to read books?” [Bro just admit you know who it is])
    • Spyro the Dragon
    • Spyro’s sidekick Sparks the Dragonfly
    • Honey the Cat, an unused playable character hidden in the game files from the little known arcade game Sonic the Fighters
    • Jewel the Beetle, a character who only appears in the most recent Sonic the Hedgehog comic books, and even then infrequently
    •  TheFriar   ( @TheFriar@lemm.ee )

      I picked a character from a book and it only really seemed to know, like, the misfits and to kill a mockingbird. It didn’t even come close, and I gave it four tries before it started asking nonsensical questions that contradicted previous questions. Like I told it he was a character from a book and by question, like, 54 it was circling all the way back to “is this character a girl” and “is this a character from a first person shooter.”

      My character was from an author that won the Nobel prize for literature, Ishiguro. I went with Ryder from The Unconsoled. The machine was nowhere close. I’m gonna pick a less obscure character, see what happens.

      Edit: yeah, it didn’t get the main character from a Netflix show. How are you not stumping it? I mean, it does seem geared toward kinda anime/pop shows, maybe that?

      • It just got Moist von Lipvig (from a few of the later Discworld novels) and Ryland Grace (the protagonist of Project Hail Mary, a spiritual sequel to The Martian, by Andy Weir), and Senshi from Dungeon Meshi, all first try.

        What are you feeding it?

        EDIT: Just stumped it with Florence Ambrose from Freefall. It did guess Natani from TwoKinds (who is also an anthropomorphic wolf from a lesser known webcomic) while it was trying though.
