Quick, Draw! is a Google-created online game that asks players to draw a picture of an object or idea and then uses artificial intelligence to guess what the drawings represent. Each drawing teaches the AI something new, increasing its ability to guess correctly in the future. The game is similar to Pictionary in the sense that the player has a limited amount of time to draw (20 seconds). Its guesses can be simple, such as ‘foot,’ or complex, such as ‘animal migration.’ This game is one of many simple AI-based games created by Google as part of a project known as ‘A.I. Experiments.’
The player is given an object to draw (for example, “Draw a chair in less than 20 seconds”). The player is then given twenty seconds to draw that object. The AI guesses what they are drawing based on what they draw. When the player’s drawing is close enough to the item they were given to draw, it will say something like “I know, it’s a chair!” and they will be moved on to the next round. A game of Quick, Draw! has six rounds, and at the end, the game shows what other people have drawn in the categories that the player did not draw successfully.
