This is a step in the right direction, though, isn't it? It's not about whether the AI mimicks a person's pauses and errors, but about whether the AI can keep track of two pencils or distinguish between the present and future.
An AI that in some way demonstrated what we might call basic common sense, together with computer-like levels of recall, would be tremendously useful for all sorts of things. And a Turing test like this would probably demonstrate it fine.
- air7 6y agoI don't think so. This is of course a philosophical point but without some underlying thing we can call "intelligence" this will never be more than a quirk. When something/someone is pretending to be something they are not, this hoax will sooner or later fall apart. If a computer can trick you into thinking you are having a conversation with a real human by optimizing for the common things people will try when playing the Turing test (like common knowledge, persistence between questions, non-sense questions etc) you gain nothing in the quest for AI. One may find some use with a fluffing machine that can output almost coherent jumble that a human may or may not need to go over depending on the use case.
