25 May 2019 - Gnirut Test
< yesterday --
tomorrow >
Can you pretend to be a computer, and pass the reverse Turing
Test, the Gnirut Test? Quick, animate a zoom into the Mandelbrot
set on the screen! Not a chance; even a savant human calculator
cannot fake being an electronic calculator, a trick that is a million
times easier. So the day that a computer passes the Turing Test, it
won’t mean that machines are as smart as people. It will mean that
machines are strictly smarter.
clue:
“A million times easier” is an understatement.
take oh take this clue away
