* ArtificialStupidity: Akinator cannot recognize identical/opposite questions, so sometimes he asks you for your character's gender two or three times. It can be FridgeBrilliance at times--some characters, particularly {{AFGNCAAP}}s, can be both female and male, or neither, or crossdressing or transgender. Of course, he'll ask if they have black hair and then ask if they have blond hair, plus the always entertaining "Asks if they're from one universe, is told yes, guesses a different universe". This is likely the only program to think ''Franchise/MassEffect'' and ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' are the same universe. And sometimes it will ask you if you've met/said hello to the character ''after'' you've confirmed it's a fictional character or dead historical figure. Apparently it believes you might be ''Literature/ThursdayNext'' or a time traveler.

Apparently it believes you might be ''Literature/ThursdayNext'' or a time traveler. It can also ask a question, be told "no", and then guess a character with exactly the trait you said yours didn't have - such as guessing Gompers the goat after you say your character isn't a goat. The inverse of it guessing a character without a trait you said yours has is also possible, such as guessing Bucky the squirrel after you say your character is a raccoon. And both can happen within the same game.
