What defines something as “human” or “human-like” is a great philosophic debate that many have tried to resolve through different theories and tests. The Turing Test is designed to test a computer’s “intelligence” through language. In the test, if an alternate party cannot detect whether they are talking to a human or computer, than the computer is “intelligent”, or human-like. But to achieve this, a computer must understand the subtleties of spoken language through text, and not the formulas of numbers and theoretical sentence structures (which are not always proper)
The Turing Test is a thought experiment proposed by Alan Turing to determine whether a computer is intelligent. The computer would also have to be prepared to respond to a wide range of topics, since any topic is fair-game in the Turing Test. But it is not simply about storing facts, but linking them together. It is these transitions that often require the most creativity, and it is creativity that ultimately separates man from all other natural organisms, as well as machines. Today’s machines are unable to master this or emotions, because these are things one gains through interactions in the 3-dimensional world.
