1. A computer program that learns by looking at millions of pictures and then can recognize what's in a new picture is an example of what?

   1. A video game you play
   2. AI that learned from examples
   3. A calculator that adds numbers
   4. A calculator app on a phone

2. Why does an AI need to see millions of pictures to learn what a cat looks like?

   1. So it can memorize every single cat picture ever taken
   2. So it can draw a perfect cat every time
   3. So it can remember each picture forever
   4. So it can find the patterns that make cats look like cats

3. After AI learns from lots of examples, what is it able to do?

   1. Write its own code to fix bugs
   2. Guess what comes next
   3. Make decisions without any purpose
   4. Turn itself off forever

4. What does it mean when the lesson calls AI a 'guesser'?

   1. AI uses patterns it found to make its best guess
   2. AI randomly picks answers like rolling dice
   3. AI always guesses wrong
   4. AI asks a human for the answer

5. Which of these is a real example from the lesson about how AI learns?

   1. AI learned what cats look like by seeing millions of cat pictures
   2. AI learned to drive by riding in cars with humans
   3. AI learned to cook by watching cooking shows
   4. AI learned to swim by practicing in a pool

6. The lesson says AI learned how words go together by reading what?

   1. A list of spelling words
   2. A dictionary with 100 words
   3. A single children's book
   4. The whole internet

7. If you played 'fill in the blank' with the sentence 'Roses are red, violets are ___,' what would AI be doing?

   1. Guessing the word that most likely comes next
   2. Deleting the sentence from a database
   3. Counting the letters in each word
   4. Translating the sentence into another language

8. The lesson says AI can guess the next word in a sentence like 'peanut butter and ___.' What makes AI good at this guessing game?

   1. It asks a human what word comes next
   2. It randomly picks a word
   3. It found patterns in how words are used together
   4. It memorized every sentence ever written

9. What does the term 'patterns' mean in the context of AI?

   1. Mistakes in computer code
   2. Repeated designs on clothing
   3. Random colors in a picture
   4. Regular ways that things behave or appear that AI can recognize

10. Can AI think and have feelings like a person?

    1. No, AI is just a computer program that makes guesses
    2. No, AI can solve math problems but cannot think
    3. Yes, AI is just like a human brain
    4. Yes, AI can fall in love

11. If an AI has never seen any pictures of dogs, what would happen if you asked it to recognize a dog in a new picture?

    1. It would perfectly identify the dog
    2. It would refuse to answer
    3. It would ask you what a dog is
    4. It would guess based on patterns it learned from other animals

12. The lesson compares AI to a 'guesser that got really good.' What made this guesser so good?

    1. Seeing lots of examples
    2. Guessing randomly many times
    3. Practicing with one single example
    4. Being programmed by smart humans

13. Why can't AI learn what something looks like if you only show it one single picture?

    1. Because AI is too lazy to look at one picture
    2. Because AI can only learn from words, not pictures
    3. Because one picture doesn't show enough variety to find patterns
    4. Because one picture costs too much money

14. What is the main thing that makes AI different from regular computer programs?

    1. AI needs a bigger screen
    2. AI can control robots
    3. AI runs faster than other programs
    4. AI learns patterns from examples instead of being told exactly what to do
