Sometimes it is best to remember that you are a person and are not in competition with algorithms.

The author labels the first riddle thusly:

  Intelligence test

And reinforces this with the first sentence:

  Test your intelligence with the following widget!

If trying to solve it is fun and the faux implication immaterial, awesome. However, if the expressed characterization of:

  Don't feel bad if a machine beats you ...

Is bothersome, remember that all of this is just one person's way of shaping your experience such that continued engagement is likely.

Hi, the author here. It was meant as a light joke, and I totally agree that we should not feel bad if an AI can predict the next letter better than us. Maybe I should rephrase it to something like "IQ test for AIs" to hint a bit more about what's to come -- this is what we train the AIs for to be intelligent.
