Obviously now has a 30 year old woman I know better and am aware of how it did so - being that it contained a reasonable database of information which lined up with its pre-determined questions. Now, I suppose you could argue that it's appropriate sequence of questions is a reasonable form of artificial intelligence, but when you look deeper you see it was merely a simple box ticking excersise with minimal amount of logic used by using the process of elimination with every question asked. My point is, the more naive the person, the more impressive the "AI" will appear. It's somewhat disappointing that people are so impressed with current AI such as chatGPT. The same way they experience it is the same way I experienced my 20Q device as a 9 year old girl.
