Human vs Computer Intelligence

Posted by michael on from the humanconf dept.

DrLudicrous writes "The NYTimes is running an article regarding tests devised to differentiate from human and computer intelligence. One example are captchas, which can consists of a picture of words, angled and superimposed. A human will be able to read past the superposition, while a computer will not, and thus fails the test. It also goes a bit into some of Turing's predictions of what computers would be like by the year 2000."

    Result of the Test: PASS

    You entered the following words:

    WHISTLE
    MOON
    PLOW

    The words possibly displayed in the image were:

    whistle
    brake
    moon
    branch
    plow
    bag
    bell
