      40 years ago, Akinator would be called AI. Basically a fuzzy logic system that classifies 5-level inputs among millions of characters/animals/objects, with both overt and less-obvious machine learning plus moderation.

          That’s user-submitted content. Whenever Akinator fails to guess, it asks you to identify the character so it can improve itself, and will have you type its name if it’s new. The subtitle is to differentiate characters who have the same name. Example: Monika / President of Doki Doki Literature Club. But some people write jokes there. This one is a real slogan of a movement, but isn’t funny and should be removed. The moderators are busy removing overt racism, homophobia and approving characters’ avatars though. Still, you can suggest a change of the name/subtitle if you finish the game.

          Idk what their stance on genAI is, for example whether they allow generated avatars or if they allow bots to improve the question bank, but they worked well before 2020.

      No AI, just good old programming. Akinator was made long before AI slopified thinking.

          It is a kind of fuzzy logic and machine learning system, basically 1970s tech but with lots of user-submitted data. Definitely would be called AI up until like 2010 but the constant evolution of the term because of tech improvement and hype keeps turning once cutting-edge AI into “well yeah, computers can do that”.

      The image or the flash game Akinator? Akinator is a 20 Questions device that’s basically just been hooked up to a fandom wiki. You could buy handheld toys that did the same thing in the 90’s just without the the pop culture awareness.

      The image most likely is just a simple photoshop.

        It hasn’t been hooked up to a fandom wiki, it just feels like it. The authors just grinded to create a decent matrix of questions and characters until the product became good enough to be fun, at which point users happily answered irrelevant questions here and there to add to the knowledge. They also had users add new characters and submit questions, snowballing it into a giant “machine-learned” yes/no-question-based knowledge base.

          Crazy to find that out. Spent a while messing with the thing again, it adds new answers in almost immediately. Also since a bunch of people started trying to prompt it to suggest Charlie’s bullet, it started guessing it often

        Ok i completely forgot about that game. I probably played it once. But I was more referring to the very very strange English in the picture.
