I'd disagree that AI is a misnomer. Babies and programs both have to learn somehow, they don't just spring into existence knowing what everything is. This one is impressive because it doesn't just use a binary tree, it's got some fuzzy logic that figures out what is the closest match even if you have answered a quarter of the questions the opposite of what it expects. I did "stadium" and accepted it's answer of football stadium, which caused it complain that i'd said it was more than 100 years old, among other discrepancies. I'd say at this point that the database it's built up is better than most people playing 20 questions.

Is it thinking on it's own? No. Is it inteligent? I'd say so.
