online chat bots: passing tests we create
It's known that low IQ people have difficulties passing Turing tests. As AI
evolves more and more, it will become increasingly harder to convince a
chat partner that somebody is a real person. Jason Striegel recently experienced this in some chat sessions; he sadly concludes that: "I consistently fail to be perceived as human.". Until google talk,
the technological entry barrier for online chat bots development was
set pretty high too. Since google's chat tool relies on open source
standards, and if they get mass adoption, creating chat bots
will become easier, and most likelly, the AI of these tools will
improve. I usually start my online chat sessions with simple questions
like: "how much is 2+2", or "what is the color of the sky", but this is
peanuts if you present it to a real AI program.
