I was looking into the Alan Turing and his Turing test as he proposed and reading some books. I feel skeptical regarding the fact that we have even reached at the level of Artificial Intelligence. It feels like we have not created a Turing machine yet.

    To add a bit to this: I don’t see a reason to stay “skeptical” about this. It’s an experiment. And it’s not even hard to set it up. You can just try and learn the answer to it.

    It’s a bit tricky since some details are vague and there’s some variations of it. It’s more a party game than written down with mathematical precision, like other texts from Turing.

    What I’d be sceptical of, is the implications of it. And claims from big companies who have a vested interest in promoting their products. It’s not really influential science until it’s been replicated by other (independant) researchers and been peer-reviewed.
