Is it an oven? πŸ‘ Is it a microwave oven? πŸ‘ Is it a countertop microwave oven? πŸ‘ Can it grill food? πŸ‘ Is it a grill microwave oven? - exceeded the question limit, big reveal, answer was "microwave". Interesting but I wasted a lot of questions trying to determine what kind of microwave it was because "microwave oven" was not accepted.

[-] dom@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 year ago

Even saying "oven" as correct threw me off. Ive never called a microwave an oven or a microwave oven. I was like starting to think maybe it wanted a specific brand of oven, or a synonym like stove

[-] Skwerls@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago

Well actually....

An oven is something you put food in to cook by heating the air inside of it.

A range is the burner portion.

A stove is a combination of the two.

Yes this is pedantic and I agree that they're often used interchangeably

I thought I was done when I guessed oven, but there was no clear feedback saying I won. Went to the comments for the actual answer.

So my feedback: fun game! If possible, perhaps add something like "very close" if you guess something that's almost the answer but not quite. Or oven could have just been wrong, since that wasn't the actual answer.

It said that it wasn't bigger than a housecat. That threw me off.

[-] salvaria 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You know, I had the same thought of asking if it was bigger than something, and this happened:

I was actually a little disappointed I didn't get to play more!

[-] nxdefiant@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

Mine said it was bigger than a cat

[-] MeaanBeaan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Clearly you meant a cat as big as a house.

Y'all gotta put spoiler tags on your shit

[-] hasnt_seen_goonies@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

I thought it was broken, because I asked if it was an oven, and it said yes... And then nothing. Just a bit confusing to people who don't understand AI and fuzzy answers.

Lmao I got the answer 11 questions in, but because I called it a "microwave oven" instead of just a microwave, it didn't count as correct until I asked "is it a microwave?" for my last question

[-] eriner@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

We've implemented a fix to make it more lenient. Sometimes the synonyms and spellings catch us off guard ("raccoon" vs "racoon"), but we should have known about this one! Sorry about that.

+CC @theparadox@lemmy.world

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

I had fun anyway, and ain't playing competitively. Long as I know I got it right, I'm happy!

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

I'm hesitant to say that the current word is a bad choice, but it feels far too specific to me. I'm curious what questions one could ask after finding out that it's a type of f___ that would lead to the exact type of f___ that it is.

Again, I'm hesitant to criticize the decision, because it's entirely possible that I'm just dumb and gave up too soon

[-] eriner@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'd rate this one "black diamond" level for sure.

[-] ConsumptionOne@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Agreed. I narrowed it down to a small species of ocean fish that was featured in Finding Nemo, but couldn't figure out how to pin down a specific species.

[-] Pika@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

I feel the same way to be honest, with the current question I did it all the way through and I was at odds end of what I could ask it aside from just straight out asking if it's a specific type, third question in was the exact one that you spoilered out and yet I wasn't even able to get a general ballpark of what it was in the next 17 questions.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 1 year ago

20 hours until I can play again?! C'mon...

[-] secondaccountlemmy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

i made the mistake of checking the comments before playing so...

Does its prevalence cause existential dread due to consumerism in the western hemisphere? πŸ‘Ž Does it make chicken rubbery? πŸ‘

[-] StThicket@reddthat.com 7 points 1 year ago

I came as far as asking: is it an oven πŸ‘ Then: is it a stove πŸ‘Ž Then wtf is it???

I never in my life have considered a microwave to be an oven, but obviously it is. I've never had one, so I have limited experience with it.

[-] BudgieMania@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Oooh this is a cool concept, thanks for sharing! I'll add it to my rotation of stuff to play on my conmute.

I threw some weird questions here and there to see if it had issues, it didn't know how to answer either of these:

-Does its name start with a vowel?
-Does its name have less than ten letters?

Although that might have been due to my clumsy wording.

[-] eriner@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

LLMs tend to perform poorly with questions about linguistic characteristics of words. We have tuned responses to gently discourage questions like that. We also feel that they're kind of "cheating" at this sort of game. :)

Glad you enjoy it!

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I asked the same question (does it start with a vowel) and agree that it shouldn't answer even if it could but I have a suggestion: use a different emoji than the "I don't know" one to mean "that's kinda cheating"

There's a cool one called chronogram that has an AI pretending to be an historical figure. You basically have a conversation to figure out who they are. It's pretty cool, but now it requires you to sign up or use a Google account, which is a bummer

I got a no for can you hold it so I was sure it was a normal oven. You can definitely hold a microwave they're not that big 🀣

I asked "is it famous?" πŸ‘

I asked "is it in North America?" πŸ‘Ž

It was an oven lol.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Actually the lastest one isn't an oven as the final answer. My wife asked that and was like, "so why isn't it over??"

I got it in 19, but only because I asked if it was smaller than a house cat and I thought raccoons were larger.

[-] JamesNZ@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I asked if the word was a noun, and it gave me a "don't know". I asked if the word was an adjective, and also got a "don't know", so I gave up.

[-] eriner@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Asking about linguistic characteristics of the word is cheating in twenty questions! :) There's a note about this at the end of the "How To" that's linked on the front page.

The AI seemed to struggle with scientific names for #19.

The question

spoiler"Is it in the Actinopterygii class?"
was answered as no, though the correct answer should have been yes.

It’s a really cool concept! Not much to improve regarding the UI. One small thing is, I found the thumbs up or down a bit less intuitive than seeing the answer spelled out

[-] Soupbreaker@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I dunno how difficult to implement this might be, but it ought to be cognizant of Linnaean taxonomy. I just had one where the word was seahorse, but the bot claimed it was not a ray-finned fish.

[-] hazardous_area@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Nice. I got 17 and I would debate the size of that versus a bread box. Still got pretty much everything else right

Those don't live in Europe or Africa? Huh.

[-] SimpleMachine@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

The word for me was seahorse, but when I asked it if it had scales the game answered yes. Seahorses do not have scales.
