I made this game with a friend. We’re interested in your feedback!
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
Well actually…
An oven is something you put food in to cook by heating the air inside of it.
A range is the burner portion.
A stove is a combination of the two.
Yes this is pedantic and I agree that they’re often used interchangeably
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 asked if it was larger than a microwave on my second question and it gave it to me…
Edit: There was an update to make it more lenient. Too lenient imo.
I thought I was done when I guessed oven, but there was no clear feedback saying I won. Went to the comments for the actual answer.
So my feedback: fun game! If possible, perhaps add something like “very close” if you guess something that’s almost the answer but not quite. Or oven could have just been wrong, since that wasn’t the actual answer.
It said that it wasn’t bigger than a housecat. That threw me off.
You know, I had the same thought of asking if it was bigger than something, and this happened:

I was actually a little disappointed I didn’t get to play more!
Clearly you meant a cat as big as a house.
Mine said it was bigger than a cat
Lol I asked the same question
Y’all gotta put spoiler tags on your shit
I thought it was broken, because I asked if it was an oven, and it said yes… And then nothing. Just a bit confusing to people who don’t understand AI and fuzzy answers.
Wdym? You’re asking Yes or No questions, the word wasn’t oven, but the word WAS an oven, it was microwave. I think there was just a misunderstanding
I asked if it was an oven, and it said yes,
Lmao I got the answer 11 questions in, but because I called it a “microwave oven” instead of just a microwave, it didn’t count as correct until I asked “is it a microwave?” for my last question
We’ve implemented a fix to make it more lenient. Sometimes the synonyms and spellings catch us off guard (“raccoon” vs “racoon”), but we should have known about this one! Sorry about that.
I had fun anyway, and ain’t playing competitively. Long as I know I got it right, I’m happy!
I’m hesitant to say that the current word is a bad choice, but it feels far too specific to me. I’m curious what questions one could ask after finding out that it’s a type of f___ that would lead to the exact type of f___ that it is.
Again, I’m hesitant to criticize the decision, because it’s entirely possible that I’m just dumb and gave up too soon
I’d rate this one “black diamond” level for sure.

Agreed. I narrowed it down to a small species of ocean fish that was featured in Finding Nemo, but couldn’t figure out how to pin down a specific species.
I feel the same way to be honest, with the current question I did it all the way through and I was at odds end of what I could ask it aside from just straight out asking if it’s a specific type, third question in was the exact one that you spoilered out and yet I wasn’t even able to get a general ballpark of what it was in the next 17 questions.
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.
I agree, but I definitely had microwaves in my classrooms (small school, we would eat in classrooms).
20 hours until I can play again?! C’mon…
I came as far as asking: is it an oven 👍 Then: is it a stove 👎 Then wtf is it???
I never in my life have considered a microwave to be an oven, but obviously it is. I’ve never had one, so I have limited experience with it.
You do know microwave is short for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_oven](Microwave Oven?)
Yeah, but it can also be a type of radio wave
Apparently microwaves aren’t made of metal >:(
Microwaves also don’t contain motors 😂
By any chance did you ask “is it a metal?” Microwaves contain/are made of metal but aren’t a metal.
I asked if it contained at least 30% metal
Thanks for your feedback! We’ve implemented a change to improve the outcome of this kind of question in the future.
I asked that as well
i made the mistake of checking the comments before playing so…
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.
try it today! quite fun.
Oooh this is a cool concept, thanks for sharing! I’ll add it to my rotation of stuff to play on my conmute.
I threw some weird questions here and there to see if it had issues, it didn’t know how to answer either of these:
-Does its name start with a vowel?
-Does its name have less than ten letters?Although that might have been due to my clumsy wording.
LLMs tend to perform poorly with questions about linguistic characteristics of words. We have tuned responses to gently discourage questions like that. We also feel that they’re kind of “cheating” at this sort of game. :)
Glad you enjoy it!
I asked the same question (does it start with a vowel) and agree that it shouldn’t answer even if it could but I have a suggestion: use a different emoji than the “I don’t know” one to mean “that’s kinda cheating”
We also feel that they’re kind of “cheating” at this sort of game.
Hehehehehehe that is true, I’ll play fair instead of trying to see what it lets me get away with. Well, most days at least.
Haven’t tried using llm for this kind of stuff so it’s very interesting to see where its limits lie
There’s a cool one called chronogram that has an AI pretending to be an historical figure. You basically have a conversation to figure out who they are. It’s pretty cool, but now it requires you to sign up or use a Google account, which is a bummer
but now it requires you to sign up or use a Google account, which is a bummer
Aaagh I saw, what a shame. Sounds like a cool concept, but I can’t be arsed to sign up with my Google or Discord accounts for a daily thing even if it gave a free budgie
I got a no for can you hold it so I was sure it was a normal oven. You can definitely hold a microwave they’re not that big 🤣
I got a yes for can you carry it…
I got it in 19, but only because I asked if it was smaller than a house cat and I thought raccoons were larger.
