In regards to people are looking at it differently; I meant the general publics views on ai disrupting the entire economy and life in one swift sweep and all. While this may be true, it most likely won't come tomorrow, and it seems as though more and more people are starting to understand this. At least this is what I see and what I pathetically tried to convey in the previous post. (you can throw the tomatoes now)
The guy of the post before me (I say guy because of the tone I got from the post, what? I can't use common sense anymore to form a deductive statement based on the US' political correctness? bs) had a good point of the other applications such a contest can provide value to.
haha, I like Pinker. Having the support of a tower of feathers, ai work has fallen to the trenches With as much overhype as people have believed people are looking at it differently, this largely being the case of people who work in the field. Perhaps it is just not it's time yet to be introduced to the market Now, from the article...
The Turing tournament is a two sided tournament designed to find, on the one hand, the best computer programs to mimic human behavior, and on the other hand, the best computer programs to detect the difference between machine and human behavior. Two types of submissions will be accepted: an emulator, which mimics human behavior, or a detector, which detects the difference between human and machine behavior.
So, I suppose we could say by evaluating the success of response (as would be weeded out by whomever *actually* turns out an entry), we will have achieved our research, VOILA! It's a successful research incentive, the prize that is.
Whaddya think? no? heck of a fight though wasn't it?:P
