I have actually never taken the time to dig into the history of the Turing test (I barely remember a movie called "Ex Machina" that I have seen a few years ago). Therefore, I really enjoyed reading your post (especially the more modern part with current Turing test competitions).
I agree with your conclusions: will we ever be able to demonstrate that a machine passes the test, as at the end of the day it is only a matter of learning appearances? Obviously, this is somewhat different from thinking.
I will stop here, as I have nothing very clever to say (it is late). In fact, I don't know the answer to the latter question, and this is in addition very far from my domain of expertise...
I am looking forward to read the second part of this blog :)
Yeah, there are several interesting movies that talk about this test. I hope there will be computers that can pass these tests at some point. As for the questions, we'll continue addressing them in the next post. Thanks for reading and for your sincere comment!
You are welcome. I was happy to find your post that I almost missed. For some weird reason, I was not following you. If course I fixed this yesterday ;)
See you very soon for part 2!
Cheers ^^
Sure, thank you!
