On the contrary it's a wonderful test because it establishes indistinguishability; namely if you pass it, the whole point is that a person can't tell the computer from the intelligent thing. Meaning that you can't really argue that the computer is different than the intelligent thing. Because how would you tell them apart?
Besides, the original claim was that the goalposts are moving. And even if you hate the Turing test, it's clear that the goalposts are not moving.
- manquer 9y agoIt is a misguided and subjective test at best, most humans are not really qualified to tell the difference. It is possible that not in the far future some variant of ANN is successfully able to imitate human interactions. Chatbots do some already . Just like a well trained parrot imitating human speech can never ever truly develop understanding of a human language however many words it knows, this approach to intelligence may create systems which can perhaps fool us in conversation, but likely never have an original thought or can evolve on their own.
