This is a carry over from a discussion where I have pointed out: And also how a neural network is an example of how refined rock organised into a GIGO-limited computational unit still has not broken through from mechanical cause effect computation — which a raw rock obviously cannot do — to self-aware insightful reasoning contemplation: . . . in the brain:   That is, just as for a Thomson Mechanical Integrator: .

Recently a group beat the “Turing Test” by creating a software Artificial Intelligence program that acted like a human. The Turing Test is a theoretical test invented by Alan Turing to decide whether or not a computer software program is truly intelligent (like a human) or just faking it. The way the Russian group did it was by making it pretend that it was a Ukrainian teenager, so they didn’t know the language nor much of anything else. However, even with that, it only fooled 33% of the people. I, however, have created a new, even better software AI, which perfectly simulates the interaction with another human being, so much so that no one can possibly tell the difference. You Read More ›
