In some of the experiments they use t-SNE. To me t-SNE is sufficiently advanced to be indistinguishable from magic. https://lvdmaaten.github.io/tsne/

I can give a shot at explaining TSNE over skype if you're interested.

It asked me to draw a tree. I drew a palm tree. It said "palm tree" on the bottom, but then said it failed. I drew the palm tree because I've studied AI and that's a classic AI mistake. If you go to Hawaii and ask students to draw a tree, almost all of them will draw a palm tree. Ask them to draw a bird and it looks like a parrot (instead of the robin you see typically in the "lower 48"). It's interesting that this s…

It seems biased. When it said draw the moon, I drew a circle with a smaller crater shaped circle inside it, and it immediately guessed "the moon". Later when it asked me to draw a cookie, I drew the same exact shape (circle with smaller circle) and it immediately guessed cookie, not moon. What's going on?

Sounds like that drawing satisfies both criteria. (shrug)

So it's not really "guessing", it's just seeing if my drawing matches a predetermined bank of answers? Makes sense, since one time it asked me to draw a "police car" and before I had even finished drawing the chassis of a normal car it had already guessed "police car" and moved on.

It's probably assigning a number of possibilities with a confidence rating, and as soon as the confidence rating is > than some percentage of what it's asking you to draw, it says it.
