Quick, Draw!
This is a game built with machine learning. You draw, and a neural network tries to guess what you're drawing. Of course, it doesn't always work. But the more you (and others) play with it, the more it will learn. It's just one example of how you can use machine learning in fun ways. See also other Google AI Experiments.
