No computer had ever previously passed the Turing Test, which requires 30 per cent of human interrogators to be duped during a series of five-minute keyboard conversations, organisers from the University of Reading said.
But ″Eugene Goostman″, a computer programme developed to simulate a 13-year-old boy, managed to convince 33 per cent of the judges that it was human, the university said.
As I kind of predicted, the program passed the Turing test, but does not seem to have any trace of general intelligence. Is this a kind of weak p-zombie?
EDIT: The fact it was a publicity stunt, the fact that the judges were pretty terrible, does not change the fact that Turing’s criteria were met. We now know that these criteria were insufficient, but that’s because machines like this were able to meet them.
[News] Turing Test passed
The chatterbot “Eugene Goostman” has apparently passed the Turing test:
