Evidence of the collective internet doldrums – 20Q® Review

This game came from a collection of data that a group had carefully input and trained since, if I recall, 1988 and for years the online game was limited to only those folks. When the game launched it was remarkably prescient. I couldn't think of more challenging examples; it would constantly guess right. Then I noticed as time went on, it went from remarkable to above average to ordinary to honestly quite bad. What it took decades to train was ruined over a few months by the ignorance of the netizens, who were so inaccurate with their answers that the neutral net underwent a kind of Flowers for Algernon regression back to its nascency. As for this app, which presumably uses the classification factors or a subset thereof... my object was an "egg" and it couldn't even get that right. The lesson is not to trust the unchecked, uneducated input data of the average human being, unless you want a payload of trash data that doesn't converge on anything.
