Summary

The article discusses an experiment using AI to solve riddles, with mixed results in accuracy.

Abstract

The web content describes an attempt to use AI, specifically OpenAI Davinci fine-tuned on a dataset of 600 riddles, to solve five different types of riddles. The AI provided answers to each riddle, but only two out of five were correct according to the author. The article humorously points out the AI's misunderstandings and concludes with a summary image generated by Pixlr, based on the AI's responses. It also includes a call to action for reader engagement, asking for claps and feedback, and provides links to related content and the author's machine learning workstation setup.

Opinions

  • The author expresses uncertainty about the AI's correct answer to the cryptic clue riddle, implying that human judgment might still be superior in some cases.
  • The author is open to feedback and is considering future experiments with different AI models, showing an interest in AI development and its application in solving riddles.
  • The author seems to be experimenting with AI and content creation, as indicated by the AI-generated image and the mention of their machine learning workstation.
  • The author's tone is playful and engaging, with a clear intent to entertain and educate the reader about the capabilities and limitations of AI in understanding and solving riddles.

Let’s go through the riddles one by one!

Stay till the end, to see what happens if we combine all the riddles into one!

🤔 Riddle Me This

I’m not alive, but I can grow. I don’t have lungs, but I need air. What am I?

AI: A seed. all plants and seed need air to grow.

Somewhat correct? But I guess a seed is still alive… The correct answer would be a fire!

➕ Math Challenge

If you have 3 apples and you take away 2, how many do you have?

AI: If you have three apples and you take away two, you have one. You!

I don’t know what to say about this! The correct answer would be two; YOU take two apples.

📚 Word Association

What word is spelled incorrectly in every dictionary?

AI: Misheard; if you spelled it correctly you wouldn’t mishear it.

Again, the AI misses the point! It should be “incorrectly”!

⛓ Cryptic Clue

What has a head, a tail, is brown, and has no legs?

AI: A Penny. Here, a penny has a head with Abraham Lincoln on one side.

I think this one is correct! Honestly, I’m unsure myself, but it seems to fit!

Let me know what you think!

🔚 Final Challenge

If you’re running a race and you pass the person in second place, what place are you in now?

AI: You’re in second place!

Well done, AI!

Result

✅ 2/5 correct!

How It Works!

I fine-tuned OpenAI Davinci on a training set with around 600 riddles. I think ChatGPT would do a much better job; I might try it out in the future — let me know what you think!

Let’s summarize this story in a picture!

That’s all from me today! If you enjoyed this story, give me 50 claps! 👏

Here’s a final thank you for reaching the end! 🙏
