That's spooky - but also kind of fun. Maybe it looks at one's browsing history?
Experimentally, with a Torchwood tab open, I went for Captain Jack Harknes, and Akinator got it in no time. But Amalasuntha, Queen of the Lombards? It guessed at Queen Victoria, then King Jadwig - gave up before guessing Amalasuntha. Then it guessed Catullus in no time at all. And then Jubilee, from the X-Men.
Then I was going after Eugene Wrayburn, and it gave me James Potter... Not very close at all.

This is more fun than it had any business being!
