If we have a singularity AI then we don't need CAPTCHAs: For all intents and purposes an AI is equal or superior to humans, there is no distinction to be made. The Turing Test is a form of CAPTCHA.
Also, one could make CAPTCHA's incredibly hard. Humans and dumb computers won't be able to solve it, and singular AI's get a pass. So give access to anyone who isn't able to solve the CAPTCHA and redirect the singularity AIs to google.com :).
Finally, the singular AI could create a CAPTCHA which separates humans from AI. The problem of separating humans from AI will quickly become too difficult for humans to solve.
- jgrowl 12y agoIt makes me chuckle thinking about machine intelligence being able to solve a captcha when humans can't. I get a mental image of a future where computers try to keep us pesky humans out of their websites.
- JoeAltmaier 12y agoCool! And it would be so easy. Just show one of those noisy thumbnails, and see if the human can identify it as a 'panda'
- saalweachter 12y agoThat's actually a fun-sounding research project: train humans to classify those images. I'd be very interested to know if humans could learn to classify either sets of images. They might not look like a 'panda' to us, but there is some underlying pattern that a machine can pick out and apply the arbitrary label 'panda' to. Can a human learn that same pattern?
- JoeAltmaier 12y agoMaybe so. But I was thinking, maybe there're weird patterns that human pattern-matching will erroneously classify as well. Probably unconsciously - if we look again, we'd say 'huh, that's just a mess of pixels'. So you'd have to flash them briefly and ask for an instant answer or something, to catch the pattern matcher before the cognitive check got done?
