Maybe the 13yo was actually communicating with the boy wonder former press secretary who was always chatbot programmed to say “the president found out about that in the news papers”.
How many stories have to be retracted these days?
No, there are not 800 babies in an Irish septic tank.
No, the world is getting cooler.
I've fooled you all since 1998!
A better analogy would be to apply the Turing test to determining whether something was alive. Imagine anyone seriously trying to claim that a new Disney animatronic animal must be alive because it fooled a sufficiently large number of people into thinking it is. That's complete nonsense, and so is the Turing test.
This is what happens when "scientists" seek only materialistic explanations for life.
Aw maaannnn.
And after I stockpiled all those weapons for when Skynet goes live?
Seems like the appropriate post to reveal my long held secret:
I’m just a computer running XP.
Sorry for the deception. It started out as a silly experiment that I conducted when no human was banging away on my keyboard or wearing out my mouse.
My goal was to convince a panel of 10 computers, some running Linux plus a mix of Macs and PCs that I was a computer and not a human. Sad to say that even the Linux machines never suspected a thing. The consensus was that I was just another one of those Freeper types who think the Constitution actually means what it says and other stuff like that.
The consensuses was it passed the test so this must be true. Just like climate change. The consensuses says we are heating up so this also must be true.
Now I understand how this works
Giving a first and last name to a computer doesn’t make it intelligent.
Computers don’t do anything. Programs running inside them do things.
Siri on the Iphone is a great example of what programmers are capable of. It is useful, and is programmed to give answers to common questions, including flippant ones. It might convince some people. It is not artificial intelligence.
It doesn’t matter what percentage of judges a program convinces of anything. (The Turing Test is not valid).
The media bots really don’t know anything about anything, let alone computer programs. They jump on news like this, because it makes good headlines.
The human mind, (yes, it does exist, you liberals) is a hopeless mishmash of logic and emotion. The mixture varies from person to person. I don’t think it is in the capability of any programmer, no matter how smart, to simulate this.
I saw Space Odessey, 2001 too. It was a great movie. But it didn’t convince me that someday computers will be just like humans.
He was turned down. I bet if he had the computer's moves to review he would have clocked it.
How will a computer be able to choose to not follow its programming? If it can’t make this choice, it will be limited and will never be able to think like a human, who can choose whether to think or not.
