    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.
