   Hey I found this website which uses neural nets to create artificial intelligence in order to play the game "20 questions" -- It asks you questions to guess what you're thinking of, and you teach the game by playing repeatedly.

   Well the game is aware of Kristin Hersh, but it thinks that she did not contribute to music history and that she is not known for her acoustic work. What? Well, the way to correct this is for better informed people to play the game.

   Hence my post to YOU, dear fans of Kristin Hersh!

   Not that it is a huge problem or anything, but who knows, this artificial intelligence may become the singularity, and eventually be in control of the planet. If that happens, we will want it to know that KH contributed to music history. Maybe it will save her life.

   Or it could just be a fun way to while away some minutes of your day.

   Click on the music category, naturally.

   My parents have one of these at home, if I think of something K related, it never gets it. When I think of more general things, it almost always gets it.

   Fun. But someone told it that K has long hair. Someone also told it that she doesn't have blond hair (I said sometimes).

   Someone also told it that she was on American Idol! WTF?

   Do you have blond hair? You said Sometimes, 20Q was taught by other players that the answer is No.
   Were you popular in the '80s? You said Yes, 20Q was taught by other players that the answer is No.
   Did you take place in California? You said Sometimes, 20Q was taught by other players that the answer is No.
   Do you perform Punk? You said Sometimes, 20Q was taught by other players that the answer is No.

   Fun, if gaudy, site. Took 29 questions to get K - came up with Kim Gordon first then Kim Deal so sort of in the right area!
