Chapter Seventy-Four: The Ex-Machinate (Chapter 6)
Turing test
The term comes from a 1950 paper by Alan Matheson Turing, a pioneer in computer science and cryptography, entitled "Computing Machines and Intelligence." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Alain Matheson Turing devised the test in 1950, which states that if a computer can answer a series of questions asked by a human subject within 5 minutes, and more than 30% of the responses are mistaken for a human, the computer passes the test.
In 2015, in the middle of a huge private estate.
This manor occupies an area twice as large as Wang Ge's manor!
Wang Ge was wearing a black suit and stood on a thick branch, half-leaning, holding a lollipop in his mouth.
His gaze was on the horizon in the distance, and at the place where the mountain and the sky meet, a black one was slowly floating over.
After two minutes, it turned out that it was a civilian helicopter.
"It's coming," he muttered, crushing the lollipop in his mouth and jumping off the trunk of the tree.
At the same time, the helicopter also landed in the open space in the distance, and from the plane stepped a young man, tall and thin, carrying a large travel bag.
"How do I get there?" Dropped here by a helicopter, he seemed a little dazed.
"Just keep going inside," the helicopter pilot pointed the way, "over there you will see a villa, this is the closest place I am allowed to land, go on your own, I will pick you up when your journey is over" After saying that, the pilot ignored the young man.
The helicopter lifted off, leaving only the young man himself.
"Alas" sighed, straightened his clothes, the young man could only continue to move forward, since there was no way back but to continue to move forward, and this is a rare prize, you can't give up because you have walked a little way, right?
Just as the young man was walking alone with his bag, he suddenly saw a figure, a man in a black suit.
βhelloοΌβ He hurriedly shouted at the other party, and thankfully the other party stopped.
"Excuse me, you know this ......" he ran over to ask a question, but before he could finish his sentence, the man in the black suit suddenly asked, "Caleb?" β
"Huh?" The young man was stunned for a moment, then nodded hesitantly, "That's right, it's me."
The other party continued, "A programmer who works for the "Blue Book" search engine company, because he won a lucky prize from the company, he was invited to spend a weekend with his boss in a villa deep in the mountains."
The hesitation on Caleb's face disappeared instantly, and he said with excitement on his face, "You really know this, tell me quickly, sir, how is it there?" Does the boss have a good personality? It is said to be a paradise! β
"I'm serious about telling you, this time it's not as simple as you think," said the man in the black suit.
"What did you say?" For Caleb, it was just a blessing in his life, spending the perfect vacation with his immediate boss in a beautiful and huge estate, and nothing more.
"He invited you to the Turing Test"
As soon as the Turing test came out of the mouth of the man in the black suit, he was quickly captured by Caleb, and then the young man was excited!
Anyone who knows about computer science will know that the Turing test is a test to determine whether a computer is qualified to be an artificial intelligence.
"If that's the case, that's pretty cool, thank you for telling me that!" He was a little excited.
"It's not going to be that simple" The man in the black suit shook his head and said, "Your boss has studied countless artificial intelligences and experienced countless failures, and the Turing test he invited you to participate in this time is a female robot who is good at using her strengths, and the goal of this female robot is to escape from here by any means"
"You're going to get caught up in that female robot and you'll be killed in the end!"
Caleb's face changed from joy to anger in an instant, "Hey! Don't talk nonsense! β
"Whether you believe it or not, it's nothing to me" The other party shook his head, showing that he didn't care, "The reason why I'm telling you this is that I don't want you to die so stupidly, your boss has gone crazy because of research and development, although in my opinion scientists must be crazy"
"How do you prove that what you say is true?" Although Caleb still doesn't believe it, but when it comes to himself, he is still very rigorous, which has to do with the work of programmers, and to design a good software, you must have sound logic, and you must think far away.
"I don't need to guarantee that I just don't want you to die in the hands of robots, or your crazy boss, to be a pawn in the game between the two of them."
The words were cold, the wind was blowing the black suit, and in front of Caleb, the man seemed to have infinite oppression.
"If you want to participate in this game, I'm going to watch a movie, and if you don't want to, I'm going to break the head of the artificial intelligence, and to be honest, it's worse for humans to be ruled by artificial intelligence than for aliens to rule the earth."
There is no way to know whether everything the man in front of him said is true or false, but from the words and deeds of the other party, it can be known that either this man is a madman, or the other party has seen an incomparably wide world, wider than the ocean of code and data!
He was just an ordinary programmer, and it was supposed to be a simple vacation for Caleb to enjoy, so in the end, to be on the safe side, he chose to quit, out of the Turing test that might actually exist, and out of the means of artificial intelligence.
Soon he kept rejoicing in his choice, and when he said that he didn't want to risk his life to participate, the man in the black suit in front of him disappeared instantly, and when he appeared, he was driving a helicopter!
"Do you remember the way back?" The door of the helicopter opened, and the other party asked.
After carefully searching for two laps and making sure that this was not magic, Caleb nodded with difficulty, "I remember" He was extremely glad that he had chosen at this time, maybe what the other party said was right.
By the time the helicopter returned to the open space of the manor, four hours had passed.
The man in the black suit, that is, Wang Ge, put on a huge backpack and walked in the direction of the villa.
It is a very casual looking villa, built in the middle of a mountain forest with flowing water.
At the door, Wang Ge knocked on the door, and suddenly a flash of light flashed away, and spit out an iron card, which was taken when he subconsciously set his eyes on the bright light just now.
"Please come in"
Putting away the card and walking in, Wang Ge was greeted by a bearded white man, he looked at Wang Ge with open arms, "Welcome young man...... No, who are you? β
