There's a widely-accepted standard for judging intelligence called the Turing Test. Computers are still a long way from passing that test.

- nl 12y agoThey aren't that far from passing it actually. One kinda sorta passed it earlier this year, by pretending to be a 13 yo boy. It was at the annual Turing Test event though[1]. Even if we ignore that, given the recent interest in using RNNs to generate natural language I'd say we are 18 months from being able to pass it reliably.

- baddox 12y agoThe Turing test is a method for judging whether a computer has intelligence comparable to that of a human, or what's often called "strong AI." Strong AI is obviously a special case of AI, but most AI research isn't even particularly interested in developing a strong AI.
