What is the Turing Test? In 1950, Alan Turing introduced what has come to be called the "Turing Test" for machine intelligence. The test involves two subjects, a human and a machine (the computer to be "tested") who engage in conversations with some number of interrogators. Each interrogator (human beings) will be placed in a room with a computer terminal. Using the terminal to communicate, each interrogator will engage in two conversations with each of the two subjects -- the computer (to be tested) and the human subject. The interrogators do not know which of the two subjects is the machine and which is the human. It is their job to ask questions or to say anything in conversation that might trip-up the computer program and identify it as the machine. After the interrogator has a conversation with both subjects, the interrogator must guess which is the person and which is the machine. Turing never specifically states "official criteria" for what counts as passing the test. However, he describes a certain level of accomplishment that he believes would be reasonable to expect within 50 years: "It will simplify matters for the reader if I explain first my own beliefs in the matter. Consider first the more accurate form of the question. I believe that in about fifty years time it will be possible to programme computers with a storage capacity of about 109 to make them play the imitation game so well that an average interrogator will not have more than 70 per cent chance of making the right identification after five minutes of questioning. The original question, 'Can machines think?' I believe to be too meaningless to deserve discussion. Nevertheless I believe that at the end of the century the use of words and general educated opinion will have altered so much that one will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting to be contradicted. ." (Turing, A.M. (1950). "Computing machinery and intelligence." Mind, 59, 433-460 -- Qt from Section 6) In this quote, Turing did not say that he is giving official criteria for the test. He did say, however, that he believed that by the year 2000, there would be computers capable of reaching the 30%+ threshold of false guesses after 5 minutes and that (as a matter of psychological fact) people would find it natural to call such impressively behaving machines, "intelligent." Can Mitsuku Pass the Turing Test?You have 5 minutes to talk to someone in the chatbox above.The question is though, are you talking to a real person or a computer program?Bear in mind, that both the computer or the person may try to trick you. How To UseEnter your name in the box and click on the START button. You will then be connected to either a real person or a computer program. This may take up to 10 seconds while the real person is notified that someone wants to talk, so please be patient. From there, you have a maximum of 5 minutes to chat to each other - The countdown will show you how long you have left. Type your messages in the bottom box and press Enter then wait for the person at the other end to respond. Once they have posted a message, you can type again until you think you know who or what you are talking to.Once you have made up your mind whether you are talking to a computer or a real person,click on the RATE NOW button to make your decision.
