You can take any video you yourself made and voice translate it for free already in minutes. It's quite simple, but it will make some mistakes. Enough so that it's not quite useful without editing. Try your own video and see how it works.

Well that was an interesting experience… I’ll admit I didn’t even understand more than half of those questions. I now feel rather sorry for the poor AIs being subjected to those tests on a regular basis!

At least one of the questions on the test had at least two valid answers, as the question itself did not sufficiently define the pattern (that is, there were at least two patterns which explained the behavior equally well, which resulted in two distinct answers).

A more general issue I had with the quiz is that it wasn't clear whether or not information was allowed to overlap - for example, two line segments occupying the same space, which I'm reasonably certain did happen in at least one question, and which potentially renders -all- of the questions unanswerable even in principle (as it introduces an undefined number of additional invisible parameters which can modify the solution-space in arbitrary ways).

At least one of the questions was worded incorrectly (asking you to fill in a question mark space when no such space was present).

The estimated IQ it gave me was certainly wildly inaccurate; while I do not know the correct score, I do know it isn't 104.

I think maybe go back to the drawing board on that quiz and start over.

Won't this contaminate the results?
