In summary, the conversation discussed a website that allows users to play a game of 20 questions with a computer. Some users had trouble with the link, but it was eventually resolved. The game was able to correctly guess some objects, but had trouble with more abstract concepts like "mistrust" and "intelligence". The conversation also mentioned some objects that were successfully guessed, such as a giraffe and a sponge, but also some that were not, like a turnip and human. The conversation ended with one user deciding to stop playing while they were ahead.

The link works again and you're cheating! Animal, vegetable, or mineral; not abstract concepts.

It failed to guess human, but I think I threw it off when I answered "Do people own it as a pet?" with "rarely".
