See if you can outguess the computer! Type in 0 or 1 or click on the buttons. The computer will forecast a 0 and 1. If it matches what you choose, the score indicator moves left. If you can outsmart the computer and it doesn't match, the score indicator moves right. A shortcut to this program can be found at: bit dot ly/aiguess (where you substitute dot with a period to give a web address)
See if you can beat the computer, playing a simple guessing game where you guess 0 or 1 on each turn. Click the "Show Data" button to see what the computer is doing in the background to make its forecasts. After selecting "show data" also select "Expert" to initialize the table with values to make the computer smarter at the beginning. Is the program "smart?" Why or why not? Are computers in general smart? For that matter, are humans smart?
