No one even bothered to try and answer my first question, which wasn't actually posed as a question but that's irrelevant!! Can these things make food guesses. It was a long time ago, 15 - 20 years, I was watching Jeopardy and within a relatively short span of time, days or weeks apart, I successfully guessed the correct answer to the final question. But none of the contestants did, and believe you me my success up until that point was poor by comparison. I remember 1 of the questions, but both were merely guesses, fairly educated ones one might say. But I didn't actually know the answers. Can AI do that?
Yes, if they have possibilities (especially multiple choice!), they should be able to make good guesses at which is the most probable answer. Lofti Zadeh's "Fuzzy Logic" is often indistinguishable from combinatorial probability.
