The largest collection of talks by Terence McKenna — visionary ethnobotanist and advocate for the mindful use of natural psychedelics.
…some of you may know, this issue arose early in AI how do you know an artificial intelligence when you're talking to one? And Alan Turing, who was a theorist of cybernetics in the 40s, developed what he called the Turing test t u r I n g, the Turing…

…the Turing test. The Turing test is: if it walks like a duck. If it talks like a duck it probably is a duck and the Turing test is always imagined as a telephone conversation. I tell you to dial a number. You dial a number, a voice on the other end…
…a telephone conversation. I tell you to dial a number. You dial a number, a voice on the other end says hello. Now the Turing test begins. Your job is to determine whether you are talking to a machine or a human being. If you can't determine it and…
…you are talking to a machine or a human being. If you can't determine it and it is an AI, then it's passed the Turing test. And this was in the 40s and 50s a theoretical proposition. Now these tests, these things are actually done and every year there…
…how do you know that I am not a cyborg? How do I know that you are not a cyborg? The answer is: well we Turing test each other unconsciously at sufficient depth to satisfy ourselves. It becomes moot or it is becoming moot. Big blue is an example in…
…satisfy ourselves. It becomes moot or it is becoming moot. Big blue is an example in terms of playing chess. It can pass any Turing test you can imagine, but it can't even formulate an answer to a non chess question. So it's a very domain specific AI…
…the book. I like Roger Penrose's Early work. He's saying artificial intelligence is impossible. Yeah based on and he goes through the Turing and I heard you bring it up once the Turing test the Turing test for artificial intelligence and he also brings in…

…certainly think computers can be a lot more intelligent than they are before we settle the question of whether they can pass the Turing test. You all know the Turing test is this test. Alan Turing was a mathematician. He figured it out during world war…

…and the emergence of that through the world wide web as a possible function of reaching a higher intelligence. I think it was Alan Turing who created the concept of the Turing test and you can no longer tell the difference between a person sitting on a…

…of the subtlest thinkers that any intelligence agency on earth has ever brought under its. It's just Ian Fleming, the best expert. Well Alan Turing, so forth and so on. We could go on and on about this so I suspect that an experiment is in progress to…

…if you call x on a telephone and you can't tell whether x is a person or a machine, then x passes the Turing test. And every year they have Turing tests where judges converse by telephone with computers and people and try and decide which are…
