No? The Turing test is "determining whether or not a computer is capable of thinking like a human being" Not whether it can mimic the voice and speech pattern

No?
The Turing test is "determining whether or not a computer is capable of thinking like a human being"
Not whether it can mimic the voice and speech patterns of one.
- TheGrumpyBrit 7y agoMaybe it was the computers idea?
- TheDong 7y agoYour definition is a little off. A computer capable of thinking like a human is "strong ai", or "general AI", or any of a few other poorly defined terms. The turing test is a poor approximation of that goal. Computers can and will pass the turing test long before they're actually capable of real human thought. Specifically, the turing test is merely having a human judge evaluate a free-form text-based conversation with a partner, and them being unable to distinguish a computer from a human in that scenario. The main thing this instance lacks is the free-form nature of the conversation. It also lacked the humans knowing that it was a test, so they didn't properly "evaluate" it regardless.
- _carl_jung 7y agoNo it isn't. The Turing test is a methodology to _try_ to "determine whether or not a computer is capable of thinking like a human being". It actually quite famously falls down at exactly this hurdle: mimicking the natural language patterns of humans[1].
