Almost human
- geuis 18y agosorry, elbot isn't any better a chatbot than any others that have come out over the years. Started talking with it and it just started giving the same nonsensical responses that are typical with these things. Also, people need to get off the Turing test as this line in the sand that has to be crossed to meet some 1950's concept of AI. Actual human-equivalent AI will need to be judged by modern concepts of neurology and psychology.
- rms 18y agoFrom the first comment on the blog post: >While I'm at it though, I'd like to point out that I don't think the "Turing test" is meant to be an actual test at all. To me, the point of the Turing test is as a philosophical proposition: if, when the communication interface is limited to a bidirection terminal, the other end is indistinguishable from a human, then we could conclude that the other end is intelligent. Since each response is simply an iterated (i.e. stateful) function of the previous response, it follows that intelligent machines are possible. It doesn't tell us anything about how to create the function, though.
- adldesigner 18y agoI was also pretty unimpressed with Elbot. My conversation. -Hi. Why hello there, human. -How are you? The results of my latest structural analysis say I am solid as a rock. -Why would that be, my friend? There are a few people who visit me from time to time. I think you could call that friendship. I rest my case.
