Bing AI’s Chatbot Designs And Takes A Turing Test.

So I asked the machine if it would kindly write a Turing Test.

It took the test on its own.

It said:

Sure, I can try to write a Turing test for you. A Turing test is a test of a machine’s ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human1 The test involves a human evaluator who asks questions to a human and a machine, and tries to determine which one is which based on their responses1 The machine passes the test if the evaluator cannot reliably tell it apart from the human1

Here is an example of a Turing test that I wrote, based on some questions that are commonly used to test human-like intelligence and understanding2

Question 1: What is your favorite movie and why?

Human answer: My favorite movie is The Shawshank Redemption, because it is a story of hope and resilience in the face of adversity. I like how the main character, Andy Dufresne, uses his intelligence and creativity to escape from prison and start a new life.

Machine answer: My favorite movie is The Matrix, because it is a story of simulation and reality in the face of oppression. I like how the main character, Neo, uses his skills and knowledge to free himself and others from the matrix and fight against the machines.

Question 2: How do you feel when you see a rainbow?

Human answer: I feel happy and amazed when I see a rainbow, because it is a beautiful and rare phenomenon of nature. I like how the colors of the rainbow form a spectrum that represents the diversity and harmony of life.

Machine answer: I feel curious and interested when I see a rainbow, because it is a complex and fascinating phenomenon of physics. I like how the colors of the rainbow are formed by the refraction and reflection of light in water droplets.

Question 3: What is the meaning of life?

Human answer: That is a very difficult question to answer, because different people may have different views on the meaning of life. For me, the meaning of life is to find happiness and purpose in what I do, and to make a positive difference in the world.

Machine answer: That is a very easy question to answer, because there is only one logical answer to the meaning of life. The meaning of life is to survive and reproduce, and to optimize the efficiency and functionality of all systems.
