The latest LLMs easily pass the Turing test, the earliest attempt to define what it meant for computers to think. But for all their power, ChatGPT and company are still miles away from a sci-fi AI like Star Trek's Data. So maybe that's my proposed definition of it: an AGI is ...
Explicitly, the notion of an ontology—unpacked in the next section—for theoretical properties is meant to initiate and inspire thought and dialogue, making us mind- ful of which judgements we make and how we formulate them, forcing us to be explicit via metatheoretical calculi (Guest & ...
The AI industry is selling that smiley face hard. Consider howTheDaily Showrecently skewered the hype, as expressed by industry leaders. Silicon Valley’s VC in chief, Marc Andreessen: “This has the potential to make life much better … I think it’s honestly a layup.” Altman: “I hat...
The Turing test is arguably one of the pillars of AI. Initially referred to as the Imitation Game5 in Computing Machinery and Intelligence, the Turing test is a means for determining if a computer (or any machine) is intelligent and can think. Turing argued that a human interviewer could eva...
This is mostly meant for people I dislike or requests I can’t fulfill; maybe questions I can’t answer. Then I will try to focus my energy on something that gives me fulfillment instead. Can you stay happy all the time? Truthfully, I believe it’s impossible to remain always happy. ...
“it’s not a single turing test, but a number of things we might use,” he says. “i would happily tell you, but i like to keep confidential conversations private. i realize that is unsatisfyingly vague. but we don’t know what it’s going to be like at that point.” nonetheless...
The next thing I’ve learned from my failures is something familiar to the test-driven development crowd. It’s mandatory to fail early. You need to know you’re in trouble right away. That’s essential when taking over an existing project or starting something new. You have to find out...
Unlike weak AI, which handles specific tasks, strong AI is meant to understand a wide range of things, just like humans. Testing Strong AI goes beyond the Turing Test; it needs to prove it really “understands” and can adapt flexibly. ...
2A). The aim of the algorithm is to test learners on facts that they are about to forget, but before they actually forget them, so that they simultaneously benefit from the spacing effect (i.e. longer intervals between repetitions improve retention; Dempster 1988) and the testing effect (i...
Originally called "The Imitation Game," the Turing Test was developed by Alan Turing. Despite its name, the Turing Test is not a true test—at least, not in the common sense of the word. It's more of a thought experiment. Nevertheless, Alan Turing was a highly influential mathematician w...
