I guess it took 28 questions as a result of "contradictions" with my answers. Any way, after finally guessing correctly and pointing out the contradictions, it states: The opinions of the AI are its own and are based on the input of people playing. It does not matter if our answers disagree, as over time my answers will change to reflect common knowledge.
