Same with me! I was binary searching cladistically and it spoiler >!it was a jawed animal and did not have hard bones!<. My search among the >!cartilaginous fish!< was all negative. Damn
Yeah I don’t think anyone realized that everyone got the same word. Can’t blame em for babbling about it, but it’s a major bummer because now I’m obviously not going to play.
It is definitely capable of responding with 🤷♂️, but neglects to do so in some expected areas.
“does it use a microprocessor?” 👍 “was it invented before 1970?” 👍
These are somewhat contradictory. No microwave in 1946-1971 could have had a microprocessor. If the answer is “sometimes yes, sometimes no” then 🤷♂️ is probably best.
So if the answer is yes and no (conditional versus a universal property of the thing), you always answer yes? I would consider that strange, but as long as it is applied consistently then I suppose it is fine.
I dunno how difficult to implement this might be, but it ought to be cognizant of Linnaean taxonomy. I just had one where the word was seahorse, but the bot claimed it was not a ray-finned fish.
Is it an object? 👍 is it something found in a house? 👍 is it an appliance? 👍 Is it a kitchen appliance? 👍 is it a toaster? 👎 Does it heat food? 👍 is it a microwave?
My second question was “Is it larger than a microwave” and it gave it to me. Sorta BS tbh. Idk if I’d have ever gotten it if it’d answered that question as “no” like it should’ve.
Edit: They updated it to make it more lenient. Imo too lenient.
Similar but I thought it worked around it another way lol. I asked if it was smaller than a refrigerator (y) and larger than a toaster (y). I arrived at it being an appliance in the kitchen, so I thought it just said yes for the first one and it was a refrigerator. I was sad when it wasn’t lol
Thanks for finding this issue. Our “cheater buster” was a bit overzealous about the first question, but it’s a legitimate non-cheating question so we’ve made an exception. It should work in the future. The second question was “no” probably because the word itself isn’t in the plural form. The question “is there more than one of them in the world?” is functionally equivalent and works around this quirk.
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.
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
I had already narrowed the size down to a smallish (I forgot what I used for comparison) electronic cooking appliance so a full oven was already out. “Toaster oven” was negative, so I tried microwave oven route instead.
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.
That was fun. Will it be one new word per day? It makes you think of solid questions to ask!
!I asked if it was primarily used by women (no), and that helped when I figured out it was a household item that could cook food haha. Grill was guess 19, and there are lots of things that can cook food, but most are primarily used by women so that leaves one option. Woo! Just barely got it :D!<
Another question asked was if it was before the internet (yes), so relying on stereotypes was more reasonable :) I was using cultural expectations pre-1990s
But just because something existed before the Internet doesn’t mean it doesn’t still exist now. You say you’re using pre-90s expectations, but it’s a modern object still - so why would that help at all?
But sexist stereotypes did exist before the internet (at a much higher rate than today). Using the logic of the past doesn’t mean it’s being sexist of today.
Kind of like if the answer was a job and it was before the internet (so, like pre~1990), it would be reasonable to assume women were not as prominent in a lot of things like they are today.
It (microwave) exists today, but it also was invented when sexist stereotypes were much bigger.
