First Computer To Pass Turing Test. Doooommmmm!

Turing Test: Computer Program Convinces Judges It's Human - NBC News
Judges in England were fooled into thinking the machine they were conversing with was a human on Saturday — making the computer the first to pass the 65-year-old Turing Test.
"Eugene Goostman" is not a 13-year-old boy, but 33 percent of the people who partook in five minute keyboard conversations with the computer at the Royal Society in London thought it was, according to The University of Reading, which organized the test.

The Turing Test is based on “the father of modern computer science” Alan Turing’s question, “Can Machines Think?”
If a computer is mistaken for a human by more than 30 percent of judges, it passes the test, but no computer has accomplished the feat — until now.

It means either machines are getting smarter or people are getting stupider. I think I can guess.

Haha... I think there will be things in which an AI will likely win against humans, and things which humans might stay on top, if there is any means to do so. A Meijin tournament would be impressive. Scrabble, not so much.

So... a new question.

When can we be sure that a computer is actually sentient? After all, psychopaths can mimic normal human behavior perfectly without actually feeling any emotion or social connection. (Of course psychopaths are sentient; it's a statement about mimicry).

George Lucas has gone on record saying that C-3P0 has no soul despite portraying a small emotional range; he's a programmed machine. Data from Star Trek, however, is frequently argued to have a soul despite not feeling any emotions (except, well, a desire to feel emotions, for what it's worth), despite also being a programmed machine.

I would say that the answer would lie within two things: the computer's code, and neuroscience. Compare the computer's code to a standard set of neuron-processes required for an accepted definition of sentience.

I expect that we'll never define criteria for sentience. There will be continual advances
until one day, Model XB-V4.1 says, "Get yer paws off'm me, you damn dirty human!".

Just goes to show the human bias in attributing sentience to a thing. If it looks human, it's more likely to have a "soul" than something that looks like an Astromech or a Tin Man.

Getting into the P-zombie dilemma is always a good way to waste time.

I didn't read the article, so no clue what is going on, but I can say this.

Back in my Mirc chat relay days, there is a very simple line of code that is referred to as talkbot, which is so simple to create, the hard part is all the communication you wish the bot to have at its disposal.
In short, it picks up on lines of text or even one word, and reply back from what ever notepad you design it to, and picks a random reply.

People used to actually make chat rooms, with a "female" talkbot to lure guys to eventually click through to their pornsite.
Used to crack me up,
"dude, thats a talk bot, its not a real person"
"Nahh man she is real, you're stupid"

Usually the person who wrote the code, would obvious have the bot pick up on the word "real" or even, "are you real?" and the bot would reply with various yes answers.
Which would happen, they would say.. see, she is real. :facepalm:

So, I can only assume, this is how today's artificial intelligence works.

I also exploited that code from over 20 years ago, in the creation of a bot I used on twitter.
Here is a sample of it...
on *:text:*woman:#:msg $chan Why we love women $read(text/women.txt)
So what it would do, is pick up on the word "woman" and reply to twitter with... "why we love woman" along with a random quote line from the women.txt notepad I created.
To add more, all you do is add a new word for it to pick up on
on *:text:*female:#:msg $chan Why we love women $read(text/women.txt)
on *:text:*girls make me mad:#:msg $chan Naa, girls are cool because.. $read(text/women.txt)

Here is a few from the notepad
(BTW, doing this got me a ton of RT's and woman followers :eek: )
They will always smell good even if its just shampoo
The way their heads always find the right spot on our shoulder
How cute they look when they sleep
The ease in which they fit into our arms
The way they kiss you and all of a sudden everything is right in the world
How cute they are when they eat
The way they take hours to get dressed but in the end makes it all worth while
Because they are always warm even when its minus 30 out side
The way they fish for compliments even though you both know that you think she's the most beautiful thing on this earth
How cute they are when they argue
The way her hand always finds yours
The way they smile
The way you feel when you see their name on the call ID after you just had a big fight
The way she says "lets not fight anymore" even though you know that an hour later you will be arguing about something
The way they kiss when you do something nice for them
The way they kiss you when you say "I love you'
Actually ... just the way they kiss you...

I can only assume, this is exactly how artificial intelligence is being created today, but on a whole new level.
Reversing and edited the code, gives it the abiltiy to write new text into the notepads, but it becomes complicated.
That is the learning part of artificial intelligence, so not only will it reply, it will also learn and add to its own "brain"

Basically, this whole bot I use on twitter is nothing more than one notepad with what I call the remotes, which is all the "reading of text part" and various notepads for it to reply with.
I have no idea how to get the learning part to work right, but with a few weeks of creation, one can go on twitter and pretty much let it run on auto, and you will trick a lot of people into thinking you are replying to them.

It would take years and years of writing codes in for this to be deemed artificial intelligence, but I am sure this is all it is, in a nut shell.
I am sure this is how that android app Siri works too, with added features to search and do commands and instead of it reading lines of text, its hearing words and replying from reading from lines of text

Yeah, the whole story is bogus and the press just went along with what they were told.

The "computer" in question was just a chatbot. Very few websites even acknowledged this fact with a number of them even saying a "supercomputer" passed the Turing test.

Never mind that it's just a chatbot with programmed script responses. Never mind that it's not even the first chatbot to do this. Never mind that the other chatbots who passed did better than this one. And never mind that the Turing test is not really that great an indicator of actual intelligence and isn't even the same test that Turing himself created.

This is just kinda a :facepalm: and :shrug: kinda thing.

Yah but isn't this the whole coding needed to even make artificial intelligence?
I really see no other way to do it.

Everything about computers is nothing but scripts working off commands.
Artificial intelligence is nothing but a chat bot and that is all it can ever be.
Even if it can "learn" its still a chat bot.
My guess is it's been around for over 20 years at least.
That simple line of code can be exploited to do whatever, shocked after all this time, they have not advanced it past Siri on android.

I would, but after Mirc, I know nothing more.
But I did pretty much program a twitter bot :p
Its too complicated to sale though or I would.
The average joe would never get it to connect to twitter.
Its a hot item, ppl pay big money for those sites that offer auto posting for twitter.

But yah, even this guy is just an advanced chat bot, he even explains.
