Recently the Internet got all fired up–did a software bot pass/not pass the Turing Test:
The Turing Test, proposed by uber-genius Alan Turing in 1950, is: Can a software bot convince a human it’s also human, via text chat?
My view is that Turing Test has always been malformed, humans are too easy to trick, passing test says almost nothing about software. “But Marc, Alan Turing was the genius of all time, and you’re just some dude on Twitter. What the hell, man?” That’s a good point!
Turing said something else that I think is far more relevant, which he announced loudly in the executive cafeteria at Bell Labs in 1942: “I’m not interested in developing a powerful brain. All I’m after is just a mediocre brain, something like the president of AT&T.”
And I think that’s actually what happened, and it happened in the form of enterprise software: the code that runs businesses today. Yep, that’s right: Actual AI is SAP, Peoplesoft, Oracle, Salesforce, Workday, Netsuite, Great Plains, and a thousand others.
AI turned out to be the last thing anyone expected. Banal.

A software can convince a robotic human that it’s a human.
I am coming across more and more humans behaving like robots.
Humans are becoming so out of self that they are basically running on auto.
By the way – more and more sites are created with software that runs on auto.
It’s a sad world – we live at an era where we are becoming less sensitive and less human.
Where is this leading? I don’t know.
Peace.
