Have you considered using a database and static questions and answers? This technique gets 100% perfect results each time and needs less energy.

It would actually be interesting to know what the energy required by a human is to research a topic, think of plausible options, find references and type it out.

I'm not sure how much energy Trivai requires, or if it's even remotely comparable, but you might be happy to know that all generated questions are stored in a database.

I would guess that humans produce "perfect" results 95+% of the time. In my own tests, Trivai gets "good" results, ~90% of the time.

The question is not human vs software, it’s software vs software. The software you use is unreliable. Why would i play trivia against an opponent that is likely as dumb as i am?
