Title: Turing Test
Post by: undercovernerd on March 20, 2007, 02:35:40 PM

Hey everyone,

My name is Meagan and I'm new here.

I was wondering if anyone know a bit about the Turing Test.
I am trying to find out if there are any current supporters (preferably professionals) of the Turing Tests and its ability to prove whether or not a machine can 'think'.   :roll:

Hit me up to chat and let me know if you know of any!

Cheers!

That is... if you ARE a girl, and not a goddam THINKING MACHINE.

Not even I can answer that question with certainty.

Try solipsism, it can help bring you certainty.

Or you can answer it with uncertainty.

Try Heisenberg, he's good with uncertainty.

I put a cat in a box a few weeks ago. I'd like to know how it's doing, but I'm afraid to look.

I'm uncertain as to the wisdom of opening that box personally.

I may be living in a fool's paradise, but I just don't want to forse the issue.

"Forse" is probably spelled "force".

I really can't tell.

I'm uncertain as well.

I think, to be fair, within the confines of our little bulimic back-and-forth, I was the annoying one.

"a cat" <> the Cat.

If I had put you in a box, I'd be peeking all the time.
