So many, I don't even remember which ones.
RATH: (As Eugene Gustman, reading) I read a lot of books. MARCUS: I will play the role of myself as best I can. Well, why don't we read that? I will read the part of Eugene Gustman. You had an exchange with an earlier version of this program. RATH: Well, let's give an example of that. So all it really shows is you can fool humans for a short period of time, about five minutes - not all of the humans, but maybe more than you might've expected - by having these sort of personality twitches. It turns out that you can do a lot of misdirection, answer sarcastically, and evade the fact that you are a computer. But it's not really progress towards the larger goal of having machines that really understand us. MARCUS: Well, it's a small sign of progress.
But you think, maybe not such a big deal. RATH: People who are into science, I think, especially, get really excited when we see this headline, computer passes the Turing Test. But most people aren't fooled into thinking that Siri is an actual person. MARCUS: Siri, like this program Eugene Gustman, interacts with you. RATH: Siri kind of does that, right? You ask your phone questions, and you can even throw in some abstract ones and it will come up with some creative responses, on occasion. And that's basically what actually happened, is somebody managed to build a computer program that was good enough to fool a third of the judges. So you text message to a computer or a person, you don't know which. So those of you who don't remember what a teletype is can think of it as text messaging back and forth. GARY MARCUS: It was devised in the teletype era. I asked him to explain how the test works. Gary Marcus is a professor of cognitive science at New York University. Last week, a computer program pretending to be a 13-year-old boy named Eugene Gustman was the first to pass the test - meaning the age of artificial intelligence has begun - maybe. He also devised the Turing Test, a measure of artificial intelligence. The code breaking skills of mathematician Alan Turing helped the Allies win World War II. It's ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR West.
