What are some computers for online games?

What games exist that pit humans against computers that are used to teach the computers a task?

  • Like for example: crowdsourced humans versus fold@home? Or a hypothetical game called Boxy that will require people to draw boxes around moving characters faster than a computer (for OCR and so forth). Can be played against any type of AI or algorithm (especially interested in how genetic algorithms will fare). Awesome class of flash games can be gleaned from this strategy don't you think?

  • Answer:

    Look up Luis von Anh. His research is on "games with a purpose" and includes several games that help with image recognition, tagging, captchas (oh yeah - he invented those...) and the like. Check out http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_von_Ahn for more details. This video is worth the twenty minutes too:
