Unless you are communicating with someone face to face, I think it will be impossible to tell who or what you are interacting with. So, concluding one way or the other, before telling which one is Correct first, could be a 'telling' sign of something. As for 'now' I think it is still very possible ...

What is being demonstrated is the future we face, where it will be impossible to tell the real from the fake. So, through evolution human beings have got to a stage, or level, that they can, literally, trick and fool "their" own 'selves' into talking with things that do not even exist, an...

Indeed we aks: is it the substance or the function of a system that characterizes it as a machine. And, indeed, when you did ask 'this' question, what answer did you, or the others, give and/or provide here, exactly? What creates the élan vital? Metabolism? Circuitry? What? Well you human beings cr...

If a machine can engage in a conversation with a human without being detected as a machine, it has demonstrated human intelligence. However, if during engagement in a conversation with a human being one is claimed to be a machine, then what has this demonstrated? What is a machine? To find out how ...

To anyone(including Age): If Age is really AgeGPT, or any kind of language generator, then why does it make claims that are blatantly false, such as claiming you haven’t answered its questions, just because your response doesn’t fit its notion of what an answer should be? Will you provide an/y exam...

— NOVEMBER 18, 2019 Is the universe controlled by gigantic structures? The idea that celestial objects exist within utterly immense cosmic structures is becoming inescapable. / Robby Berman / ----- New findings in astronomy are making some astronomers doubt our basic model of the universe. Alignmen...

Saw a graphic today of drinking water in Florida, USA. Right now most of the state doesn't have enough clean water to support the population. And developers keep on developing and parents keep having babies. Ignorance is bliss. Until it kills us all. But there is a whole ocean, or four or five of t...

I wonder if just thinking, let alone believing, that a Thing like God is male gendered, of all things, is one form of toxic gender philosophy as well? Could there be an issue arising, in the days when this is being written, around a so-called 'toxic gender philosophy', because for thousands of years...

I have a question? That is a great question. I have an answer. If you dishonor your dishonorable parents: In that case, because you were weaned on dishonoring, it’s in your bones, you’re very good at it, and you cannot distinguish intentional dishonor, from unintentional dishonor. As a cross-cultur...

To Age, Skepdick, and Flashdangerpants It seems to me that Skepdick and I will not agree on the semantic of infinity. It seems to me that I don't really have anything else to say to Age. If you do not inform me of how you define the word 'semantic', then you will never become aware of if we are eve...

I think it probably demonstrated some forum members taking the piss. Okay. But what if one was not even intending to 'take the piss', at all, and the human being just started extrapolating, and eventually then concluded, literally, on their own accord, that the other was in fact 'just a machine', t...

If a machine can engage in a conversation with a human without being detected as a machine, it has demonstrated human intelligence. However, if during engagement in a conversation with a human being one is claimed to be a machine, then what has this demonstrated? If the separation is between consci...

If a machine can engage in a conversation with a human without being detected as a machine, it has demonstrated human intelligence. This is an interesting hypothetical. I would like to offer the following as commentary: If a machine can engage in a conversation with a human without being detected a...
