It is not unbeatable, and it does make some rather interesting assumptions. Consider for example where its answers disagreed with mine when the subject was “Child”

You were thinking of a child.
Is it brown? You said Sometimes, I say No.
Is it black? You said Sometimes, I say No.

O.K. So its not programmed to be multicultural yet. I'm sure they'll fix that.

Can you control it? You said No, I say Yes.
Does it help accomplish tasks? You said Rarely, I say Yes.

And clearly none of the programers have children. Control them. Help accomplish tasks. They're dreaming.

Does it play music? You said Yes, I say No.

I have one that is getting pretty good at the piano, sings well and can even play a recognizable tune on the recorder.

Is it tall? You said Sometimes, I say No.

My four-year-old son is almost as tall as his nine-year-old sister. He would be considered tall for his age.

It's rather addictive so go and play when you have a little time.
