Turing would have been enthused to the Max. Now could he have done something to test it out?? What would Turing 1950 have concluded?
-----Original Message----- From: John Clark <[email protected]> To: 'Brent Meeker' via Everything List <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, Mar 1, 2023 9:50 am Subject: The original Turing Test In Alan Turing's original paper in which he propose the thing that we now call the Turing Test he gave this example of the sort of thing we might ask a machine that claims to be intelligent and the answer we might expect to receive: Question: Please write me a sonnet on the subject of the Forth Bridge. Answer: Count me out on this one. I never could write poetry. So I decided to give the the same order to ChatGPT and less than five seconds it did so. Question: Please write me a sonnet on the subject of the Forth Bridge. Answer: Amidst the Scottish skies and bracing breeze, A structure stands with towering grace and might, A symbol of Victorian expertise, A masterpiece of steel, a wondrous sight. The Forth Bridge, a marvel of its time, A cantilevered railway, bold and strong, Its spans reach far, a feat of man's design, Defying nature's forces all day long. For over a century it has stood, A steadfast sentinel of the North Sea, Its steel beams gleaming bright in sun and flood, A tribute to the skill of industry. Oh, Forth Bridge, a wonder of the age, A testament to man's unyielding rage. I'm the world's worst poet so I'm not a good judge of the above's artistic value but I'm certain it's better than what Alan Turing would have expected a machine that claims to be intelligent would say. Now if it could just do arithmetic as well as a two dollar calculator!John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis56w -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
