Understanding Akinator

Akinator, often referred to as the Web Genius, is an internet game that uses artificial intelligence to deduce characters (real or fictional) thought of by players, through a series of questions. The game starts with Akinator asking the player to think of a character. It then proceeds to ask a series of questions, with answers limited to 'Yes', 'No', or 'Not Sure'. These questions are designed to narrow down the possibilities, using a vast database of past questions and answers to guide its guesses. For example, if a player is thinking of Harry Potter, Akinator might ask if the character is fictional, if they have magical powers, and if they are a student, among other questions. This process illustrates Akinator's basic function: to intelligently narrow down an infinite pool of characters to the one in the player's mind, based on their responses. Powered by ChatGPT-4o
