Good news for EY: Akinator can recognize him and unequivocally believes that he's 'famous'. Bad news for EY: Akinator also believes that he uses 'green energy' to 'power up'. I'm not sure if that refers to an environmentally clean power source or literally green supervilllain rays of death, like those of the Necrons in WH40k. Probably the latter. In any case, it hardly improves SIAI's public image :(

I'm responsible for Akinator knowing who he is, having a picture of him, and in part for believing he's famous. I don't know where the energy's from.

Edit: Akinator still asks about green energy but now expects a "no".

I tried and didn't get Eliezer. This is possibly because Akinator doesn't believe that any actual famous people are personally known to the people playing the game? I guess it would have had an even harder time if I'd played back when I would've had to say "yes" to "does your character live with you?".

Edit: Told it it was wrong and hit continue; still got it wrong. When I told it it was wrong again it wanted me to pick off a list, and admittedly Eliezer was on the list!

A year ago, it specifically got Harry James Potter Evans Verres from Methods of Rationality.

I got Eliezer (the page's second guess) despite saying "no" to the green energy question.

If you click on "Game Report" at the end, it will tell you which answer it expected for each question, given who the person is. (It is capable of guessing the correct person even with a few "unexpected" answers.)

I tried for Luke and he wasn't a result. After the last question, Eliezer was its second guess.
