It's crazy that OpenAI released a version of this in 2022 and the entire industry went bonkers.
The longer these tools are online the less I trust them to do literally anything.
Today I learned that you can stump Akinator by thinking about Lao (from Xenoblade X).
The game #akinator is very odd. It didn't reward you for knowing obscure people it doesn't know of. It doesn't reward you for thinking of obscure people it can't guess easily. It seems to reward you for people it can guess first time although they are very obscure.
Which is frankly, bizarre. People very exact and unusual peculiarities, that aren't thought of often.
WTF?
The rules aren't explained!
I joke, but she is, she has pink hair, isn't in love with men, is in school, and is over the age of 18.
I'm still somehow surprised it guessed correctly.
Oh, and while I am here, some more #realisations:
The #AI we have been fawning over is just a shitty version of #akinator trying to impress you by showing you that it can finish your sentences.
A good sentence-prediction #subroutine does not an AI make.
All it proves is that none of us have any original thoughts. That, if you mash together enough (unoriginal) thoughts, you too can compile a set of sentences that seem coherent and uncommon enough to FEEL unique.

where technology news meets educational analysis Welcome to episode 259 (“Google I/O News”) of the EdTech Situation Room from May 18, 2022, where technology news meets educational analysis. This week Jason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach) and Wesley Fryer (@wfryer) discussed news from Google and Google I/O, questions from Elon Musk about fake Twitter accounts, and a crazy story about Michigan high school students "successfully" catfishing their teacher for inappropriate photos. The sale of private details about our online behavior and location tracking data was highlighted, along with a service (Jumbo) that can help change default privacy settings which favor the surveillance capitalists. Geeks of the Week included Google Flights, Google's Site Kit for WordPress, visualization tools for Texas power grid challenges, and the AI-powered "20 questions" online game, Akinator. Check out our shownotes for links to all the articles we discussed, and subscribe to our Substack to receive all the links we discussed and also didn't have time to talk about in this week's show in your email inbox! Our show was live streamed and archived simultaneously on YouTube Live as well as our Facebook Live page via StreamYard.com, and compressed to a smaller video version (about 100MB) on AmazonS3 using Handbrake software.
