The idea that an advanced artificial intelligence should be able to “pass” as humanlike is self-defeating, unethical and perhaps even dangerous..

Quite an enjoyable and accurate read that was - surprisingly. I wish more writers would have some actual background knowledge of the topic they write about.


Maybe we should start our own weekly newspaper (blog)... Should be an interesting experience and might even bring fresh faces to the forum

I liked the plot twist.

I wrote an analysis of the Turing Test on my blog after reading Alan Turing's paper.
I'm still working on an entry on the Chinese Room, but want to read the original text in context before passing final judgment.

Altogether though, I have the feeling that there is a rather unproductive preoccupation with proving or disproving that what we build is intelligent. I don't see people build houses and then have it tested to see whether or not it is indeed a house.

My father gave me a small plaque many, many years ago that said,
"There is no one road to success...there are as many as there are men willing to build them."

Nice article there Patrick... I rarely find blog posts of this type written in clear, simple (yet sophisticated) English.

Art, that is a very inspirational and in many ways a very deep quote - the initial meaning you might find between the lines may not be the only one
