For, while it is true that computers do things that we don’t intend them to do-because we’re not smart enough, or because we’re not careful enough, or because there are rare hardware errors, or whatever-it isn’t true that there are any cases in which we should want to say that a computer has originated something. In their view, Turing’s claim that “computers do take us by surprise” is only true when “surprise” is given a very superficial interpretation. (2001) claim that Turing’s response to the Lovelace Objection is “mysterious” at best, and “incompetent” at worst (p.4). As Turing says, one way to respond to these challenges is to ask whether we can ever do anything “really new.” Suppose, for instance, that the world is deterministic, so that everything that we do is fully determined by the laws of nature and the boundary conditions of the universe…īringsjord et al. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform (cited by Hartree, p.70) The key idea is that machines can only do what we know how to order them to do (or that machines can never do anything really new, or anything that would take us by surprise). The Lovelace objection: One of the most popular objections to the claim that there can be thinking machines is suggested by a remark made by Lady Lovelace in her memoir on Babbage’s Analytical Engine: The Analytical Engine has no pretensions to originate anything. And one of those objections was the Lovelace objection. As I think you pointed out, he announced and defended this test in a 1950 paper and he considered a series of objections.
So that’s basically what the Turing test is. Perverted versions of this test restrict the judges to being laypeople, not being experts. And no prohibitions on the nature of the judge in terms of their background, education, expertise. Thirty seconds, probably, a machine, if it is indistinguishable is going to have a chance. Clearly, by context, you can’t lay down an artificially limited period of time. He said this had to happen for an indeterminate or long period of time. There are contaminants out there for monkeying with and diluting Turing’s original rules for the game.
Turing said that if you strike out as judge, then we have reached the point in time when we have a thinking machine. Ask whatever questions you would like to try to find out which room houses which of these two entities
