The Age of Artificial Intelligence is here!

Just read an article called " Supercomputer passes the Turing test by mimicking a teenager " on Engadget, that shows an computer has finally passed the Turing Test for AI. What do you guys think about that? What impacts would AI have on our jobs/computing in general?

Seriously impressive on one hand, way out of my league! But… 33% of how many? Haven’t dug too deep yet, but based on the linked article and link back to Reading, fooling people to pass the test by playing on the adults perceptions of an ignorant youngster isn’t exactly SkyNet.

Bring me HAL or JARVIS. Then I’ll be impressed.

From what I’ve seen, three. So one judge was fooled. It’s neat, but I don’t think I’m as impressed as all these stories think I should be.

Agreed, the Turing test is a game of mimicking, not a test of real intelligence like it’s touted.

What we really need is the Voight-Kampff test… and a machine to give it a run for it’s money!

Adafruit Learning System

Affordable HAL 9000 Replica

WIth the right Adafruit parts and a little crafting ingenuity, you can make a pretty decent replica of HAL 9000 to decorate your workshop or hackerspace.

Be careful for what you wish because you might just get it.

Correct term, not to be a jackass, would be Virtual Intelligence…That’s what I wanna see!!! Not some bot programmed with 10000000 things to say back to your phrases. Once a given bot can adapt and learn, that would be extremely impressive, revolutionary in fact.

Every so often we get these sensationalist news reports that a computer has “passed the Turing test”, and on closer inspection it turns out that it hasn’t. A good chatbot, even an excellent chatbot is not AI.

It is going to be here soon. With Machine Learning, NLP, Big Data and stuff- I do not see this far away.
