Let Lord Vader read your mind

[Seeker of Matter]

Just stumbled upon this link. damn..... He "reads" my mind every time lol!

[Nick]

Read mine too! Lots of fun, thanks!

These things are terrible. I have never had it tell me correctly even once what I'm thinking of.

[Kazbadan]

loool!! its a very funny website. Even when it fails its funny when you see the king whispering things to the Lord Vader...

i thought on jellyfish and in monitor and i was correct (at the second guess).

i thought on condom and he didnt guess (maybe my fault cause i wouldnt undertstand 1-2 questions).

[Adun]

A friend sent me that site some days ago, I thought of "light bulb" and he guessed it.
Later I thought of "lightsaber" and "wookie", he guessed them too.

[.Rachel.]

Ha ha brilliant

[Manix]

Took him 10 minutes to guess Helicopter, and he had to give me 12 options to choose from AND get help from some wierdo in costume.
LOL

I think it is amazing the programs knows so many "things". First I though "Hah, I am going to trick it" and then I thought of a snail or a slug and it guessed it, I was amazed!

What is also funny is all the bull sh*t Vader says "This is a battle of wits and clearly you are unarmed" I can't help but laugh at that

[Stillwater]

lol, yeah, it seems to be pretty well differentiated: for instance, the program actually recongnizes that there are animal-like algaes and plant-like algaes in the protist kingdom, and so if you say "animal", or "plant" to the first question, it doesn't rule out algae either way, lol, and it ends up asking me if I am thinking of algae half the time

It doesn't always get it, but when it misses, it gets darn close- I though of a flatworm, and it came up with "seaslug", which is about half a degree off....

It also has a knack of coming up with the answer purely out of the blue, after asking a seemingly irrelevant question to eliminate a possibilty: it asked me if the thing "was used to do work", or some such, and then it asked if it was a pizza directly after, which it was, lol.

I tricked him with carbon, he guessed imagination.  Pretty cool actually, wide base of answers.

[Tom]

He couldn't get "coffee". I'm not being unreasonable, here.

[Froglet]

I was thinking about phasing... not even close

[Kazbadan]

but he learns thing si thing.

in th eend, after he didnt get "condom" he asked me to write the word.

LOL You will let us know when a terminator shows up your back yard claming that he is from the future and that we must destroy that flash program before it is too late  ?

And Tom it does know coffee!!! I checked it myself.  http://img38.echo.cx/img38/2505/coffee8vt.jpg

(Insert appropriate joke about Tom's intellect here)

[Stillwater]

you can accidently trick it, if you are too vague, and you should try things which are mainly concrete- even though carbon is an atom, it is more an idea of a particular type of atom; doubt if it knows atomic and sub-atomic particles, lol, but I will check

[Stillwater]

lol- I tried carbon too- he actually did get close- he guessed sulfur, phosphorus, hydrochloric acid, a chilli-pepper, and finally....... mashed potatoes.......

not sure where that last one came from, but if he had more questions, I'm sure he could arrive at carbon; he may guess based on what seems most likely- more people might say dog than dingo, for instance....

[heter]

He didnt get rottweiler at first, but when I typed in for him he did. Also, he couldnt get penis after 15 minutes.

[OrionsDream]

OMG!! IT GOT WOOLY MAMMATH!!! HAHAH

[Tom]

Obviously I typed in the word coffee after Vader didn't get it right.

[Adun]

He got TIE-Fighter
Actually he didn't directly guess it, but he gave it as an option from a list.

[Nay]

LOL!!!!  I thought about an orange and it only took a hundred questions to narrow that bad boy down.

My 13yr son and 45yr old hubby was helping btw and that still didn't help.......alright, in my mind they weren't helping because I saw it one way (son on my side) and hubby said, "Darth Vader" nailed you!  Yet my defense is ...too many questions.  THAT my friends is what you call a "cold reading"  Asking all these circular questions, to only narrow down your field.

John Edward is innocent...heck, if M.J. can be, so can he.

Nay

[Stillwater]

Indeed, that is how this works, but how else could it? It must be pretty sophisticated in order to guess specific breeds of dog...

I would attribute many of its failures to the inability of the user to properly answer the questions and classify objects, but of course it also has inherent weaknesses....

For a simple computer application aimed at advertising a fast-food chain, however, I may say that it employs a most complex and inclusive logic-engine to guess correctly so often.
