At first I rarely got 700. Then 1100 occasionally. Now I get 1400 more than rarely. I have *NOT* improved that much, the AI has gotten better. It is fun to go back and review what the "partner" guessed, and sometimes to follow the links to see what the picture REALLY was. I have found several cool websites that way. If everybody who played solitaire umpteen hours a day did this instead, it would be much better for their mental health. Since I seem to disagree with the owner of this, it will be interesting to see if my submissions are approved. One of the links I followed from GIL or researching GIL (e.g. how I found this site) claimed that 8.6 BILLION hours per year were spent on on the solitaire game alone.

Sometimes as soon as the picture appears the "partner" has entered 2 or even more words, not enough time for them to do so and have your screen updated. Also, pictures repeat after only a few runs so it is NOT really identifying things for searches, even if it isn't AI, it at least is a Beta. Also, the "partner" almost never asks to pass, I have only seen one request to pass plus a few times for blank pictures. Occasionally when pictures repeat they disallow the word you matched before but usually not, implying that a word gets disallowed after it has been matched many times. BUT WAIT! I think all this makes it MORE interesting than if I was playing against another person. I would quit playing if I thought I was playing other people, I don't care for competition with other humans (one reason I like square dancing, where the object is to cooperate and work together). This is presumeably a self learning AI program, and I could be helping to create the first true Turing machine, HAL, or MYCROFTXXX.

IMO. Wonder how long Google can keep that a secret. Seems like they are testing their image identificaiton AI against real humans--you and me.

I got screwed out of $300 last month because of the power of the default (Adbrite story coming soon). Assuming that users understand the full consequences of posting their private information, when they can’t even spell “Tom Cruise”, is erroneous. Expecting them to change the default settings on their Facebook accounts, or even knowing how to or that the option exists, is even more presumptive. And while the Digg crowd likes to scoff at people for “going with the default settings” like using IE6 instead of Firefox, the reality is that defaults have great power in themselves. When Facebook changed the default to allow all your activities to be viewed, as opposed to making it an option, it really aggravated the invasion of privacy issue.
