AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around an online game where players guess whether an object is an animal, vegetable, or mineral. Users express amazement at the game's ability to correctly identify various items, including common objects like books and cell phones, while also noting its failures with more abstract concepts like "mistrust" and "intelligence." Players share their experiences, highlighting both successful and unsuccessful guesses, and some mention how their responses may have influenced the game's accuracy. The overall sentiment is one of enjoyment and surprise at the game's capabilities.

The link works again and you're cheating! Animal, vegetable, or mineral; not abstract concepts.

It failed to guess human, but I think I threw it off when I answered "Do people own it as a pet?" with "rarely".
