Turing Test
Basic Setup
Imitation Game
Person A, Person B, Interrogator
Interrogator has to distinguish who is who (man or women | machine or person)
Questioning only by language, no visual or touch, mediated by a teletype
Ways to determine what is intelligent?
Survey people
poorly defined
different ideas about machines, thinking, intelligence
ordinary language philosophy
Why is this a good test (According to Turing)?
Needs a objective definition
The test will tell us whether a machine is intelligent
But???
People still haver differnet ideas intelligence
No definition, just being humanlike
Why is being humanlike the same as intelligence?
This is the intelligence of the programmer not the machine
It is just mimicking a certain feature of human activity
Is intelligence the same as access to information?
other uses of language (humor, sarcasm, irony)
At least the test only language use (other forms of intelligence like musical, body, spatial, etc.)
What about the interrogator?
Just a fancy survey?
Theory of Mind
We solve problem of other minds (solipsism)
apply it to all sorts of people, even animals, why not machines??
Daniel Dennett's "intentional stance"
based on outward behavior
interpret as rational -- make sense, having a logic, achieving a goal
Is mimicking, simulating the same thing as the real thing?
Objections:
Intuition
Growth
Creativity (Lady Lovelace Objection)
COUNTER
Not all that original (has a structure, history) (mash-ups)
It could be a mechanical process (gold + mountain = gold mountain)
Darwin's objection
