HACKER Q&A

Is the definition of AI that it can fool people?


Is AI still defined by the Turing Test?

Doesn't the Turing Test determine only if a machine can fool people into thinking it is intelligent?

If fooling people is the defining characteristic of AI, am I a fool to think that AI can produce work of concrete (non-foolish) value?

The ability to fool people is quite a low bar. See the ELIZA effect.

No. Beyond convincing behavior replication, AI's next challege is design.
