lol, yes I had a giggle at some of those.

You were thinking of a bonsai.
You said it is classified as Other, I say Vegetable.
Could you send it in the mail? You said Sometimes, I say No.
Do you use it in public? You said Sometimes, I say No.
Is it worth a lot of money? You said Sometimes, I say Doubtful.
Contradictions Detected
The opinions of the AI are its own and are based on the input of people playing. It does not matter if our answers disagree, as over time my answers will change to reflect common knowledge. If you feel that I am in error, the only way to fix it is to play again.

So it thinks we deal in vegetables and they are sometimes not worth a lot of money. None by mail either. Still has some to learn then!!

Good fun tho'

Best regards,
Ian.

I even started by saying Vegetable,...I figured as opposed to animal. Both times it did guess it at the end, in the list, the first time it was fourth from the bottom in a list of about 20 things ,...second time here's the list Is it one of these ... a hemlock tree (evergreen) a magnolia tree a bonsai tree a weed (undesirable plant) a ginkgo tree a railroad tie hops a birch tree wood a grape vine (plant) a sequoia tree a bonsai foxglove a maple tree SO you see it doesn't yet realize that a bonsai and a bonsai tree are the same thing (except in rare exceptions). FUN ,.....ALSO Funny,................... Is it normally planted in gardens? You said Sometimes, I say No. Is it yellow? You said Sometimes, I say No. Is it usually green? You said Depends, I say Yes. Is it bright? You said Sometimes, I say No. Does it have lots of seeds? You said Sometimes, I say No. Can you recycle it? You said Yes, I say No. Does it smell good? You said Sometimes, I say No. Contradictions Detected __________________ "Although profoundly "inconsequential," the Zen experience has consequences in the sense that it may be applied in any direction, to any conceivable human activity, and that wherever it is so applied it lends an unmistakable quality to the work." ~ Alan Watts (1915-1973) Last edited by zen : 4-Jan-2006 at 11:02 AM.

ajollygiant Just happy to be here Join Date: Jan-2006 Location: South West Missouri Country: U.S.A. USDA Zone: 6b AHS Heat Zone: 7 Posts: 27	It has officially forgotten what Bonsai is. I have been trying to get it to guess for almost an hour now and it hasn't beat me yet. Bonsai isn't even on the list of stuff it can guess anymore __________________ Nothin' left to do but, smile, smile, smile

It wouldn't even let me choose my own answers. EVERYTHING was answered yes...wouldn't let me pick any other answer. But it did give me a sweet message about a runtime error and a bug. (" Do I wish to debug? Acess denied.") Sigh. It decided I was thinking of banana peppers... AS IF!!! EDIT: Next day, better computer, still no choices other than "Yes," and I still get "Banana Pepper." I must have been duped by some cruel joke. __________________ Sonlight Nursery Green Country Bonsai Society Last edited by EarthgirlOK : 17-Jan-2006 at 12:47 PM.
