How does Akinator actually do the thing?
In: Technology
It’s just process of elimination. You’ll notice that it quite often asked the same/simular question multiple times in different ways i.e ‘Is your character a female?’, ‘Is your character feminine?’, ‘Is your character a woman?’.
It’s just incrementally eliminating possibilities from all of it’s lists of traits based on the context of previous answers until there are only a hand full left, and it will pick one.
You’ll also notice that if it’s wrong and you continue, it almost always gets the next one right, because that small pool is then further eliminated from.
And that list of traits to characters grows every time someone beats him and inputs their character. Obviously you can still beat him, but you have to get pretty obscure these days.
