20Q

We played a game online called 20Q, testing artificial intelligence using the Turing Test. The first topic we chose to test was Disney. We selected a Disney character, Dory from Finding Nemo. On the first try, it took the computer seventeen questions to guess the answer correctly, and it did not venture an incorrect guess. On our second try, the computer guessed incorrectly three times before settling on the correct answer of Dory, needing 28 questions to do so. We then selected the music category, and thought of the flute. The first time, the computer needed 20 questions, and guessed incorrectly once by guessing the piccolo, which was close. The second time it also required 20 questions, though it did not guess incorrectly at all. After that, we attempted the classic 20Q in two languages, Portuguese and Spanish, to see how it would be in languages we only half (or less) knew.
