Eliza Passing Eliza's The Turing Test

Could it be that you love not me? I lay awake on a freezing night; As cold as an arctic snowstorm, and as dark as a planet with no sun. My eyes were open as wide as a deer's in front of a moving vehicle. There was one thought in my mind, one thought only, the love of my life. Her long silky hair, her smooth, tanned skin, her pristine beauty and her effervescent, godlike personality were all I ever desired; she was as sweet as a honeycomb and as unique as a sparkling snowflake in a vast blizzard. Absolutely immaculate, absolutely flawless was our relationship; or so I thought. There was only one problem, one only; it seemed as though no matter how hard I endeavoured to fulfil her desires, I just couldn't. For I had endured thousands of long

Turing, a physicalist, believed that artificial intelligence could be achieved in the future. Turing argued that the mind was merely due to the physical aspects of the brain and so a machine could one day be created that has a mind of its own, i.e. artificial intelligence. He created a test called the Turing Test to determine whether a machine has artificial intelligence. In the Turing Test, an interrogator asks two subjects a series of questions. One of the subjects is a person, the other is the computer. The goal is for the person to imitate a computer and the computer to imitate the person. If the interrogator is fooled into thinking that the computer is the human then the computer, according to Turing, is concluded to have the ability to think and thus, have a mind. Turing argued that machines passing the Turing Test were sufficient for ascribing thought.

John Searle formulated the Chinese Room Argument in the early 80’s as an attempt to prove that computers are not cognitive operating systems. In short though the immergence of artificial and computational systems has rapidly increased the infinite possibility of knowledge, Searle uses the Chinese room argument to shown

     The Turing Test has had a rich history since its creation by Alan Turing. But first of all, who was Alan Turing? As Whitby notes Alan Turing was a superb British mathematician. During World War II Turing worked in secrecy for the British military to break the German military codes together with some other scientists using some machines that had some characteristics of the modern computers.(12) After the War, a machine was built in Manchester from which “all modern computers are descended”.(12) In 1948, Alan Turing was writing programs for this machine and was also writing the paper “Computing machinery and intelligence”, published in 1950, from which the concept of the Turing Test was derived later on. (Whitby 13).

Ms. Headlee’s speech was intriguing and brought up some very interesting components to listening that I have not thought of before. One important thing that Ms. Headlee had said was to not pretend that you’re listening when you actually aren’t. This is called pseudolistening and our book calls it “pretend listening” (Rothwell 150) Pseudolistening is when you are looking at someone while they are talking and responding with ”Mmm-hmm” or even saying “really” (Rothwell 150) It appears as though you are intently listening when in reality you are not. If you are doing this you are not only a bad listener but also disrespectful towards the person who is talking.

Chardinaya Carrera 6th 9/9/16 Speak Day 2 Melinda’s teachers are the Hairwomen, Mr.Neck, Mr.Freeman,and The Spanish teacher. Hairwomen looks like a monarch butterfly because the tips of her hair is orange and her hair is always covering her face. Mr.Neck is a mean old man that has an eye on her. Mr.Freeman is

English was the language of America and was a very important aspect. People needed to be able to communicate to survive. So Mr. Shimerda was very eager for Antonia to learn English. If Antonia learned how to speak English, she could translate what Mr. Shimerda and the other people who spoke English. Mr. Shimerda placed a book in Jim’s grandmothers hand. It was a book that had the bohemian alphabet and also the English alphabet. He said sternly and earnestly “teach teach my Antonia”.

Secondly, how would you be able to express yourself, without words to do so? Without a voice, the ability to spread thoughts and ideas is taken. Melinda first undergoes an example of how powerful her voice could be, in a heated social studies debate, where while the class watches, a model student named David refuses to stay silent by his arrogant teacher. As the book reads on page 56, “As a citizen, and as a student, I am protesting the tone of this lesson as racist, intolerant, and xenophobic.” Speaking back to a person of higher authority than you is never an easy task, and David managed to stand up for a cause that he believes in, through the usage of powerful words. This quote shows how speaking out for what you believe in is key to expressing

On August 1588, Queen Elizabeth I addressed her speech at Tilbury Camp before the attack of the Spanish Armada. Queen Elizabeth encouraged support and confidence in herself and within her troops, even knowing they were at a disadvantage. She formed a special bond with her troops, knowing that she was the leader and had faith in them, and they had faith in her. She gives her troops full out encouragement and strength, and includes everybody as a unit by stating “we” through her speech. The appeal of ethos is shown in her speech, by providing and gaining support from her troops, wanting to make sure they’re at their best ability and mindset for preparing to go into attack.

Using the second anomaly, illusion in reasoning, the interrogator acquire unique responses from humans with a paradoxical question such as the “surprise test paradox” to distinguish them from machines. Humans would be able to understand the paradox, but the interpretations of the paradox may differ for each individual. Using their

A.) What if you realized Lily is trying to adapt to you when she says, “Don’t let my position as group leader keep you from expressing your own emotions. What do you really think about my idea? What would you say?

If the questioner couldn’t tell the difference between the texts, the test would be passed, meaning the machine has intelligence. Even Though Caleb isn't doing the original Turing test, since he is viewing Ava’s actions, as she answers the questions. “For Turing, there is nothing more to being intelligent than being able to use language as we do(taken from Doing Philosophy, Lewis Vaughn).” This states that Ava is intelligent since it’s stated in the movie that she is born with language and demonstrates it throughout the sessions with Caleb. Although Ava can clearly pass the Turing test without a doubt, John Searle denies that it takes any intelligence to pass the Turing test. A thought experiment, called Searle’s Chinese Room, where a human is put in the computer's spot and given an input in Chinese with no knowledge of that language, just a rulebook which translates the symbols into english. The job of that person is to give an output that makes sense to the input given by using the rulebook. Like a computer or this case Ava, the human put to the test manipulated the symbols, but added no meaning to the symbol. According to Searle, “computers manipulate symbols on the basis of their physical features or form, whereas humans manipulate symbols on the basis of their meaning or content(taken from Doing Philosophy, Lewis

This is a speech of historical and political nature that was delivered by Queen Elizabeth I of England to the Troops at Tilbury in Essex on 9 August 1588 for repelling the invasion by the Spanish Armada.

Analysis on Emma Watson’s speech, “Gender Equality is Your Issue Too” Emma Watson, best known as a leading actress in the Harry Potter series, gave a speech titled “Gender equality is your issue too” during a HeForShe campaign at the United Nations headquarters in New York City during on September 20, 2014, in attempt to raise awareness about gender inequality. Throughout the speech, Watson attempted to persuade the audience in joining the HeForShe campaign by providing examples of those who have been subject to the burdens of gender inequality – however, this speech could be considered problematic due to Watson’s lack of credibility and failure to include all types of people in our society.
