Comment on Has anyone or anything ever passed the Turring Test? If so how and why?
Buffalox@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoNope, there’s nothing wrong with the test. It wasn’t designed to test if it was “strong AI”
That was EXACTLY what it was designed for, the argument being that if it is indistinguishably from a human, it has human like consciousness. That’s way beyond thinking.
Computers are “thinking” routinely. Chess programs that have existed since the 80’s are already proof of that.

Cleaner Wrasse are conscious according to the mirror test. No one would call those fish intelligent. They are smart enough, but they are only self-conscious enough to recognize themselves in a reflection to help remove parasites.
Nothing in the Turing Test proves intelligence. Sounding human is so easy, a chat bot that pretends to be a scared little boy was the first to complete it, way back in 2014. Assuming that fooling a human is hard it’s even less convincing.

This is simply wrong, only Religious nutcases believe so.

And godless machine learning engineers like myself. I think you assume I think humans and only humans are intelligent. I am not convinced humans are conscious. There have been many cases where that simply isn’t true or obvious.
Have a good day, religious nutjob.
