Turing Test

by Vulture » Nov 18th, '08, 09:17

Have an interesting conversation with a computer or a person!!!

http://www.robitron.com/TuringHub/

My coworker came across this. We were playing with the Turing test and found this site. This test sets you up with a computer or a person. You have to talk and ask questions to figure out if its a computer or not. Even if its a computer the 'programed' responses are amazing.

Amazing as in amazingly stupid. I stumped it in one question. If you like that, try this..

Recursive grammer is a horrible, scary thing.

This was cited in Hillary Putnam famous –though I think it should be infamous– "Brains in a Vat." Here is a link

A: How was your day today?
B: Ah. I was really busy chatting with people on the web.

A: which people?
B: The tall one, I think.

A: which people were you talking to?
B: The red one, I think.

Took me two questions to confuse it. The third was to check if I changed my grammar it you get a reasonable answer.

I got it with the ol' turtle on its back question.

Apparantly trying to have sex with it works, too.

Here is a one step proving its a computer:
A: pi=?
B: PI = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971690399375 approximately.

Its horribly impaired in logic. Try a contrary to fact assumption in a logic problem. Like:
If 1+1=3 and 3+1=2, what is 3-2? Although, that might be challenging to humans too.

Regardless of the weird things it said, I got it by entering successive comments very quickly after each other, and the sucker could pump out messages as long as this one in less than a second.
