Fake “AI” attempts to guess your number
This is an homage or parody of very early programs doing AI. They often were not very sophisticated and used trickery to give the illusion of something similar to human thought. This is just such an example.
You supply a number between one and ten (or the computer chooses one for you if you don’t do so) and then computer randomly generates a number that it hopes is the same. The computer could cheat at this point but it doesn’t.
What it does do is try to claim partial credit for being close. In fact it has around a 64% chance of getting close just like the example above illustrates.
