quote:

Given the premise of IPsoft's artificial intelligence system, it seems logical that the ultimate measure of Amelia's success would be passing the Turing Test – which sets out to see whether humans can discern whether they are interacting with a human or a machine.

Earlier this year, a chatbot named Eugene Goostman became the first machine to pass the Turing Test by convincingly imitating a 13-year-old boy. In a five-minute keyboard conversation with a panel of human judges, Eugene managed to convince 33 per cent that it was human.

i remember my dad telling me when eliza first came out in the 70's, they set it up on the terminals at work and universities and it worked on just about everyone, but it would always end in the person having fit of rage because the modified eliza that threw insults was the more popular one

they just assumed it was a real person communicating to them over the network

If you just did an avatar interface for Siri it would probably work better and continue to work better as Apple improve it with little effort on your part

people prefer talking to a person instead of an animated monkey? she's conservatively made up and proportioned like a real human, I don't see the problem.

yeah, ELIZA worked just fine because people had no experience with anything like it. because they had no knowledge of any kind of machine that could hold a conversation, they had to assume they were talking to a person, even if the person seemed bizarre and antisocial. consider the people who ran screaming out of the theaters in the 1890s when they were first shown films of a train bearing down on the camera. no mental model to compare it to other than "this is a real train and it's going to hit me"

now that people have some experience with things like ELIZA it's easy for anyone to pick them out. the current state of the art is better at fooling humans, but it's almost certain that we'll look back in ten years and go "lol wow that was bad how did we fool anyone"

see also: the perceived photorealism of 3d animated movies. remember how amazing toy story looked in 1995? go and watch it again

humans are really really good at pattern recognition. this is why turing tests are stupid

Eliza is good because it doesn't really do any talking, it just lets the person talk and gives the standard "keep talking" social cues. if you tried to have an actual conversation you'd quickly get frustrated but it turns out most people just like to talk as long as someone is listening.

this is why when people talk to me, they just spill out all the problems they're having in their life, and thank me for listening. i don't talk back that much but i'm really patient compared to most people. so i'm basically a real life eliza.
