Russian Chatbot Passes Turing Test (Sort of)
CurtMonash writes "According to Ina Fried, a chatbot is making the rounds that successfully emulates an easily-laid woman. As such, it dupes lonely Russian males into divulging personal and financial details at a rate of one every three minutes. All jokes aside — and a lot of them come quickly to mind — that sure sounds like the Turing Test to me.
Of course, there are caveats. Reports of scary internet security threats are commonly overblown. There are some pretty obvious ways the chatbot could be designed to lessen its AI challenge by seeking to direct the conversation. And finally, while we are told the bot has fooled a few victims, we don't know its overall success rate at fooling the involuntary Turing "judges.""
Let me correct myself.
I don't believe in FORCED eugenics or sly eugenics (poisoning food or water with metals industry byproducts and marketing it as "dental carie protection") but I do believe in NATURAL eugenics.
Such as:
If you're stupid enough to build your home in a flood plain, NOBODY (save your insurance company if your resources afford it) should HAVE TO (key words) step in and save your ass or reimburse you for building on a flood plain. The same should be done with any other stupid activity. If you prove you're too stupid to survive, you should be treated as such and left to your devices.
The gene pool should not be scrubbed forcefully, that's murder or genocide and it should not be up to a human authority to tell who is going to live and who won't. We should simply let stupidity REMOVE ITSELF from the gene pool, without help and without a safety net that is created by robbing those who actually produced and took precautions (savings, stocking pantry, etc) so they wouldn't NEED a safety net created by robbing others.
