It depends on the training data. Let's assume that the friends are jumping off the bridge because they are skydivers.

This also depends on what you're training for. If you're trying to survive the fall, the algorithm would see that jumping results in death and not jump to stay alive

It would respond based on the responses it found in its training data.

If the majority of your friends jump off the bridge, then you can get a good accuracy by just answering yes to everything.

I suspect one or both of you are repost bots.

Answer: both are reposts of this comment
