Hi and welcome to Sabir reasons malicious life I'm Ran Levy. As far back as 1950 people began comprehending the vast opportunities unlocked by

0:20.0

computing. The computers of that age were gargantuan in size, humongous things operated by

0:26.9

punched cards, but it was clear that their power would only increase.

0:32.6

Alan Turing, a British mathematician who could be described as the profit of the computer

0:38.0

age, was brazen enough to raise an unprecedented question.

0:43.0

Can machines think?

0:45.0

Although it was clear that the primitive computers of Turing's time could not think,

0:51.0

he was curious to know how we could determine what constitutes as

0:56.1

artificial thinking.

0:57.9

So Turing came up with the imitation game, now popularly known as the Turing test. Three parties take part in this test.

1:08.0

One evaluator and two players, A and B. One of the two players is a computer, but the evaluator does not know which

1:17.1

one. He is given a keyboard and a restricted communication channel where only text messages can be transferred, basically a chat.

1:26.6

The evaluator has to talk with both players and find out which one is the computer. If you cannot reliably determine who's the computer

1:35.3

and who's the human being, then the computer has successfully passed the test.

1:44.6

The implication the test. The implications of a computer passing the Turing test are not to be understated.

1:50.6

After all, what's the practical difference between a computer that can imitate a person and a real person?

1:58.0

Think of all the different jobs that can be done by a computer that can write like a regular human being,

2:05.0

from customer service to teaching to writing novels and psychotherapy.

2:11.0

But passing the Turing test is no easy task.

2:15.0

Even GPT 3, the groundbreaking language model released last year by Open AI can usually keep up a conversation for

2:25.8

four or five questions before entering a surreal territory of insane answers

2:31.7

such as it takes two rainbows to jump from Hawaii to 17.
