Do you know how to tell a man from a machine? A Turing test is required: during the test, a human judge talks to one person and one machine in natural language. All three participants in the experiment must be in isolated rooms so that the judge cannot see which answers are given by the machine and which by the human. If the judge cannot reliably distinguish a machine from a human based on the answers, the machine is said to have passed the test. Aim to test a machine’s intelligence, not its ability to imitate human sounds. Artificial intelligence has shown that it can simulate human conversations quite well just by following a series of simple mechanical rules. People who were interested in it realized that it can be superior to a person… After all, one person can also function better in the system than another person, right? Are contradictions, doubts, empathy, feelings redundant in this system? Is intelligence alone sufficient for full functioning? Maybe one should optimize the human and create an optimized dystopian tribe and test it? What else would you like to check out? Behavior during dance or sex, gustatory abilities? Just don’t worry, we already have all your questions in our answers.
