Turing Test
« 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!

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.

"Forse" is probably spelled "force".

I really can't tell.

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