How the 'Most Human Human' passed the Turing Test

To prove he was human, Brian Christian competed against some of the world's most advanced AI.

Brian Christian competed in an annual Turing Test competition as part of the Loebner Prize, in which he had to convince a group of judges that he was a human, not a computer program. He won, and was named the "Most Human Human."

This video is part of Machines With Brains, a series about what it means to be human in a world that’s increasingly filled with robots.

So he went and studied interactions between people, analyzing how they respond to each other and what made those responses human. Seems to me that HE is the one trying to be a computer program.

You can't just ingnore the fact Hugh loebner, the founder of this test, made his millions selling light-up portable disco floors

Easy.
Judges: "How are you doing?
Me: "Well actually, it's been a pretty tough few months, might I tell you..."

[maverickthegayone]

Isn't he doing more of what a computer would do? Researched dialogue and statistical calculation and so on? Feel like he should've done what he was told and just done nothing plus being himself.

"show up and be yourself"

the dreaded words you hear before an interview

PLOT TWIST:
the guy talking is a robot and this video is a modern Turing test

Wtf kind of person says "hey its fine." when asked "hows it going?"?

[galexeqe]

Should I really be surprised that people can be fooled by AI after hearing that the Turing Test is financed by a millionaire who made his money by selling roll up disco mats?

[theolukify]

This kind of defeats the point of the test though. IIRC, the humans should just be having a normal conversation, not actively trying to convince the judges they were human.

JUDGE: hey, how are you?

COMPUTER: Fine you?

ME: I'm sick, constipated and on my period, and like my hopes for the future I'm slowly but surely dying.

(That human enough?)

Easy, give nonsensical answers. A computer would never answer to: How are you?
With: "According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. [...]"

[teddyestrada]

I wanna be alive. I am alive. Alive I tell you!

[creeperbandito]

Judging by his answers hes the least human human and more of an AI. Like I sound more human on a regular basis. Also hes not the most human human hes the most human out of all the robots + him. Which is no surprise. Kinda clickbait :/

@03:42 -- FAIL. You are a computer. Your spellcheck gave you away.
Any musician anywhere knows what a "Strat" is. But spellcheck would change that to the very common word "start."
Clear RAM and disassemble the components.

"What's your job?"
"Well I uh... I'm human."

As a communication major, I'm getting very tired of people saying that "Human communication is going down the toilet."
Never in the history of the world have there been more people connected at once. We've gone from tribal and oral tradition to this very sequestered, very nationalistic tradition, and now we're back as one big connected global village.
It's fascinating. I have friendships with people on all 6 inhabited continents. Never before has something like that been possible.
Whenever I hear someone say "The art of communication is dying, " I have to oppose that sentiment by saying exactly this.
Human communication has never been stronger, and it will only get better.
Stop being nay-sayers.

Easiest way is to convince them is to use internet slang

Who needs the Turing test when you could just use a Captcha?
