Is it an oven? 👍 Is it a microwave oven? 👍 Is it a countertop microwave oven? 👍 Can it grill food? 👍 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 19 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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 5 points 11 months 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

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

[–] salvaria@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months 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!

[–] MeaanBeaan@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Clearly you meant a cat as big as a house.

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.

[–] hasnt_seen_goonies@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months 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 11 months ago (3 children)

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 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

[–] ConsumptionOne@sopuli.xyz 6 points 11 months 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 11 months 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.

[–] SendMeBakedBeans@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Y'all gotta put spoiler tags on your shit

[–] StThicket@reddthat.com 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I came as far as asking: is it an oven 👍 Then: is it a stove 👎 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.

[–] Anti_Iridium@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You do know microwave is short for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_oven](Microwave Oven?)

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

[–] BudgieMania@kbin.social 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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 11 months ago (2 children)

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 3 points 11 months 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

Apparently microwaves aren't made of metal >:(

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I like the concept but some of the answers can be really misleading.

Can be carried, is found in classrooms, not made of plastic, and inexpensive. None of that points towards a microwave for me. Microwaves CAN be carried I guess, but who has microwaves in classrooms? My microwave has plastic cowling on the front, and microwaves are like 70-100 bucks the last time I checked. Some of that is on me for the phrasing (does it contain plastic I guess should have been used, as an example) but it's a bit odd.

Does its prevalence cause existential dread due to consumerism in the western hemisphere? 👎 Does it make chicken rubbery? 👍

[–] secondaccountlemmy@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

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

[–] omgarm@feddit.nl 6 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Sorgan71@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

This is interesting. I'd like to see more words.

[–] SnowmenMelt@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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?" 👍

I asked "is it in North America?" 👎

It was an oven lol.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago (3 children)

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??"

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This was my exact experience and I couldn't figure out how to make it end. Was I supposed to guess which brand? Or was it something picky like a microwave oven?

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

It said yes when I asked if the answer was a carnivore, but the answer was an omnivore.

[–] bogdugg@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

It might be because they are part of the Order 'carnivora', so in that sense they are carnivores even though they are omnivorous.

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.
