    I picked a character from a book and it only really seemed to know, like, the misfits and to kill a mockingbird. It didn’t even come close, and I gave it four tries before it started asking nonsensical questions that contradicted previous questions. Like I told it he was a character from a book and by question, like, 54 it was circling all the way back to “is this character a girl” and “is this a character from a first person shooter.”

    My character was from an author that won the Nobel prize for literature, Ishiguro. I went with Ryder from The Unconsoled. The machine was nowhere close. I’m gonna pick a less obscure character, see what happens.

    Edit: yeah, it didn’t get the main character from a Netflix show. How are you not stumping it? I mean, it does seem geared toward kinda anime/pop shows, maybe that?

      It just got Moist von Lipvig (from a few of the later Discworld novels) and Ryland Grace (the protagonist of Project Hail Mary, a spiritual sequel to The Martian, by Andy Weir), and Senshi from Dungeon Meshi, all first try.

      What are you feeding it?

      EDIT: Just stumped it with Florence Ambrose from Freefall. It did guess Natani from TwoKinds (who is also an anthropomorphic wolf from a lesser known webcomic) while it was trying though.

          What are you making it guess?

          It just failed to guess Florence Ambrose though (even though that was already in its database) so I at least get to win one round.

          It’s honestly kind of sad watching Akinator struggle.
