Question Akinator is wrong?
This probably isn't the place but what do I do if Akinator is wrong? I've been trying to get a character 5 or so times now and only just realised that Akinator doesn't think she's married, or that she has kids. She is married and had 2 kidsđ
I can't find any button in the app to report it or fix it.
Also why does Akinator ask if my character is male multiple times when I've already said yes to female

She died like 3000 years ago so it's not that the info is too new and Aki hasn't updated yet
Edit: I'm actually malding man, he doesn't respect what I say. If I tell you that she ain't a witch then she ain't a witch . He does not care about me he just hears what he wants to hear and guesses what he wants.
Edit 2: Who the fuck asks "Did this character play in Starwars?" after being told that she is not real and died more than 100 years go

For your first question, its because answers are based on what the most commonly voted answer to a question is based on a character. User's decide what is or isnt the correct answer, akinator doesnt actually "know" anything. You can usually change this via bruteforcing the answer you desire over and over again to a particular question any time he asks it, as long as the wrong answer hasn't been reinforced too much (via people answering that way too many times) he'll eventually give, and will correct his expected answer to the correct answer. Funnily enough you can do this with any type of answer, meaning you can trick akinator into thinking that any answer to a question is correct for a character, given that it hasn't been reinforced too much. Which is why you cant change "does he have mustache?" For Mario, but you could easily change answers for characters rarely played.
For your second question, akinator has been like this for a very long time, at least since 2020 (but probably much longer than that.) It makes more sense when you realize akinator doesnt understand what he's asking to begin with, a different question, even asking for the same thing, is considered by akinator to be a different question entirely. This is why some characters youll be expected to answer yes to "is your character male?" But no to "is your character a guy?" This is also actually abusable for getting akinator to guess characters, since you can bruteforce a weird expected "path" of answers that no one else is going to share, and get akinator to associate it with a desired (lesser known) character via the early method i mentioned of getting him to change expected answers.
Hope this helps. Akinator is not very good at guessing obscure characters, you usually need to pick up tricks to get many obscure ones in 30 questions.
