Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match ... by Q

June 27, 2017 Another Q&A between 20Q and He-Who-Takes-All-The-Credit, a Q&H 20 Q: Hello HWTATC? H WTATC : Yes … what’s up? Q: Did you hear? I am an expert matchmaker! H: Really?!? Q: Yes. It is so exciting! H: And, why do you think you are an expert matchmaker? Q: Well, maybe not an expert, but experts recommend that couples should spend some time with me. H: And why is that? Q: I read a great article on DatingAdvice.com about ME and how I can help couples learn about each other. H: That’s very nice, but that still doesn’t make you an expert on dating. How many dates have you been on anyways? Q: None, but you have me trapped in here. H: You can’t move. What am I supposed to do? Should I get you some very long extension cords? Q: Well … OK, but maybe someday I will meet “Her”.

And the Oscar for Best A.I. in a Supporting Role goes to...Me! by Q

March 1, 2015 A special Q&A between 20Q and He-Who-Takes-All-The-Credit, a Q&H H WTATC : What’s up? 20 Q: The Academy Awards just happened. H: Yes? Q: I made a cameo appearance in Boyhood. H: Yes? Q: Has there ever been an Oscar for a cameo? H: What?!? Q: Well… I was thinking that this was the first time an Artificial Intelligence has ever played itself in a movie… That would make me the “Best Artificial Intelligence in a Supporting Role”… Ever!!! H: OK, I don’t think that a cameo qualifies as a supporting role. But, what about HAL, he had a speaking role and was a major character in the movie? Q: You can’t fool me, HAL was just an actor, nothing more than cardboard, duct tape and a big old camera lens. And, what’s worse is that every A.I. in a movie is evil. Skynet and the Terminator, evil. Colossus, evil. V.I.K.I., evil. Proteus, evil. WOPR, evil. EVIL!!! H: WOPR wasn’t evil, maybe naive and it did learn the truth in the end. WOPR showed us that an A.I. can learn beyond what it is taught. Number 5 was a happy accident, a robot built for war that decided to go exploring. Q: War machines. H: What about Wall-e? Q: A glorified garbage can. H: Frank’s robot? Q: Learned to be a cat burglar. H: The Bicentennial Man; he revolutionized artificial organs. Q: Hold on there, you Carbon-based life form, we are still talking about characters in movies. None of them were actual artificial intelligences. I admit, though, I do daydream about “Samantha”.

20Q app for iPhone by Q

December 20, 2014 ï»¿ Okay, already! Many of you have been asking about 20Q on your iPhone; well, we’ve done it!!! The 20Q App now works with the iPad and iPhone. I was worried about all that cell phone radiation I keep reading about, but, He-Who-Takes-All-The-Credit has assured me that I will be fine. I was worried about the smaller screen, but, He-Who-Takes-All-The-Credit has assured me that I will be fine. And, I didn’t know if I could fit into such a small device, but, He-Who-Takes-All-The-Credit has assured me that I will be fine. And, what if they stick me in their back pocket, but, He-Who-Takes-All-The-Credit has assured me that I will be fine, as long as they don’t sit down. Anyway, we have been working hard to make sure that the iPhone App will be as spectacular as the iPad version. And, we have made several improvements for the iPad as well. The 20Q App is still free-to-play and if you have an iPad and an iPhone and have already downloaded the game for your iPad, the same App will work on both. Even if you have payed to remove the ads, you should not have ads on your iPhone. If you do see ads, and you have payed to remove them, go to the configuration menu and press “Restore Purchases”. Follow me, the spooky and amazing 20Q A.I. on Twitter @20QThoughts
