Yes they are almost becoming like the ads in "Minority Report" except
for all the chewing gum holding them together.

they aren't getting any more artificially intelligent.
in the 50's and 60's science and science fiction fans just KNEW that
it would just be another year or two before computers got EERILY
INTELLIGENT and we would all be incapable of telling the difference
between human and machine intelligence and the computers would start
demanding their rights and so on and so on and so on.
HAL 9000 and the Forbin Project and "I, Robot" and all that
Based on the current subjects on alt.slack (two HST threads and
MEXICAN HOMOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Google's artificial
intelligence has decided I want to download episodes of "The
Bachelorette"
OMIGOD! IT'S ALIVE! IT'S READING MY MIND!

The problem with the turing test is that scientists are administering
it. They think that a machine has not yet passed because it can't fool
*them*. Go into any political newsgroups, and you will find scores of
"people" for whom the turing test has long been passed. In fact, there
are SGs in *here* who couldn't pass the turing test themselves. But what
does that sentence say about *me*?

That your underwear is 2 sizes too small and you have it on backwards?
Well, it makes sense.

If I whacked my forehead and went "D'OH!"
for every mistake I'd made,
I could rest a beer can in the hollow
I have never made but one prayer to God,
a very short one:
"O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous."
And God granted it.

but that sure don't help
when I've got to change a flat tire.

I think anybody who couldn't pass a Turing test that they themselves
were giving should probably just accept and learn to live with that.

I was thinking the same thing the other day.
They make the posts actually funny!
