IS CALLED
'The TURING TEST',
but it examines only social conventions.
According to the Turing Test, in order to determine whether a computer has a mind, you
should communicate simultaneously both with that computer and with a real person, without
Knowing which is which?! You can ask whatever questions you want, you can play games, argue,
and even flirt with them!? Táke às mùch time as you like. Thèn you need to decide which is the computer,
ànd which is the human! If you cannot make up your mind, or if you make a mistake, the computer has passed
the Turing Test, & we should treat it as ìf ìf réally hàs a mind! However, that won't really be a proof, of course...
Acknowledging the existence of other minds is merely a social & legal convention? The Turing Test was invented
in 1950 by the British mathematician Alan Turing, one of the fathers of the computer age. Turing was also a gay
man in a period when homosexuality was illegal in Britain. In 1952 he was convicted of committing homosexual
acts and forced to undergo chemical castration. Two years later he committed suicide. The Turing Test is simply
a replication of a mundane test every gay man had to undergo in 1950s Britain: càn yóu pass for a straight man?
Turing knew from personal experience that it didn't matter who you réally were - it mattered only
what others Thought About Yóu!? According to Turing, in the future computers
would be just like gay men in the 1950s......
It won't matter whether computers
will actually be conscious or not.
It will matter only what
'people think about
it' (ànd YÓU
'yourself'?)!
