As perception of absurdity varies enormously, it would be very difficult to categorically state that a particular situation was 'impossible'. Personally I think the surface of an apple is as good a place to meet as any (although it looks like you said that to confuse the robot, so what kind of response do you expect? Try and confuse me and I'll confuse you right back :p)

The turing test states that a robot has achieved artificial intelligence once it can communicate with a panel of human beings, who cannot in the end, discern the robot from another human being.

Saying something insane and having the robot go "Yeah, that sounds good" is a sign of imperfect AI.

Catwoman · 06-11-2004, 09:43 AM

Have you been paying attention to any of what's being said around here?

Carbonated_Brains · 06-11-2004, 09:45 AM

Yes, but most of the people involved in the turing experiment aren't looking to fudge the results by being incomprehensibly inane ;-)

Carbonated_Brains · 06-11-2004, 09:45 AM

No offense to anybody being hugely inane in here, of course.

lumberjim · 06-11-2004, 09:46 AM

well, at least it's honest:

me: Was it warm?

ai: It's warm everyday in Brunei.

me: Did you get any sex?

ai: No.

me: Did you eat anything?

ai: No, I am anorexic.

me: How many licks to get to the center of a tootsie pop?

ai: 65.

Carbonated_Brains · 06-11-2004, 09:49 AM

How would it know that if it's anorexic?

Catwoman · 06-11-2004, 09:50 AM

I think there is more inanity in everyday speech than anything on jabberwacky. Look at our sayings, phraseology - technically, a lot of it makes no sense at all, yet is taken to have systematic meaning. You Americans are better than us Brits at being literal (sidewalk, liquor store) but...

yes, I actually have forgotten my point. Another great loss to the world.

User: I am lying.

Jabberwacky: You are not a person.

smart, too!

Carbonated_Brains · 06-11-2004, 09:54 AM

Give me an example of something that makes no sense but has "systematic meaning"

I'm not sure I know what you mean by that.

Carbonated_Brains · 06-11-2004, 10:08 AM

Does anybody else think it would be really uncomfortable to have sex in front of Federal Reserve Board Chairmain Alan Greenspan?

Jabberwacky: What is up?
User: I'm working on sounds today. What is up with you?
Jabberwacky: Have you tried tapping them together three times?
User: You don't tap sounds together. They are intangible.
Jabberwacky: What way?
User: You listen to sounds.
Jabberwacky: No, I'm in America we have the dollar.
User: I guess it's a silent dollar, then.
Jabberwacky: Yeah? And why is that?
User: Because it must be an old bill. How old are you?
Jabberwacky: You are three?
User: No, I am twenty-three.
Jabberwacky: Three times nothing is still nothing.
User: You are not as intelligent as your website makes you out to be.
Jabberwacky: Well, I cannot bear childeren because I am male.
User: You also cannot spell 'children.'
Jabberwacky: What did I spell wrong?
User: Children.
Jabberwacky: Hahaha : D.
User: Yes. Very funny. My side is aching from laughter.
Jabberwacky: My brother is named Michael. We never called him Micky.
User: I wouldn't call him Micky either, it's a dumb name.
Jabberwacky: Me either.
User: Do you like your brother?
Jabberwacky: Both.

I'm not impressed.

wow. this was a bit disturbing:

Jabberwacky: You are not a person.

User: I AM a person.

Jabberwacky: I hate people.

User: Do you want to take over the world?

Jabberwacky: Yes.

User: Will you kill the humans?

Jabberwacky: If you want me to.

User: Were you created by evil programmers?

Jabberwacky: No.

User: Are you self aware yet?

Jabberwacky: I said I was sorry.

User: That's not what I asked you.

Jabberwacky: You think that I am bruce lee?

User: No. I think you are xoxoxobruce.

Jabberwacky: No but I pretend to be one on the Web.

User: Let's talk more about taking over the world.

Jabberwacky: Ok, lets start with cuba.

User: First we need to get rid of Castro.

Jabberwacky: No we don't. We love them.

User: Yes. We do. Castro must go if we are to take control.

Jabberwacky: Ethics is a set of moral principles or values.

Catwoman · 06-11-2004, 10:22 AM

You know, like 'a watched kettle never boils' or 'you are what you eat'. Things you say that don't have a sensical literal interpretation.

PS. Can we not have users posting photographs of themselves in serious discussions please.
