One person's specific usage of AI, in a specific game, where the AI was constrained to only coming up with words that have an associated emoji, is not a referendum on whether or not AI itself has common sense. That's like saying paint is boring because someone made a crappy painting, or code is limited because someone made an app you don't like.

>where the AI was constrained to only coming up with words that have an associated emoji

Sorry but clearly the game description is about joining two things together into a logical craft and AI is contrained with that – not coming up with random words that have an associated emoji. In doing so the AI is not convincing, the combinations just feel random. And yes, you need common sense to come up with logical combinations which makes a game like this interesting in the first place.

Sure, its not a referendum, but its a prominent sign that even with this task AI can fail spectacularly.

P.S. Today I learned from AI that Sphinx + Drunk = Sphinxter.

That's a sick pun though - I'd definitely consider that a success

What would the right answer be?

Riddler, drunk game, no answer.

My computer programs always crashed in my first year of college, clear sign computers fail spectacularly

Did you tout your first year college programs as world changing and potentially a risk to the species because it's so intelligent/has awesome powers?

Is the author of this game doing that?
