Did 'Eugene Goostman' really pass the Turing test?

It is being said that 'Eugene Goostman', a computer programme developed to simulate a 13-year-old boy, managed to convince 33 per cent of the judges that it was human, and thus passed the Turing Test. The computer programme, aka a chatbot, was…

Does the Turing test have anything to do with Turing completeness or Turing machines?

I am studying Turing machines and Turing completeness and just remembered I saw something called the Turing test. It seems that the Turing test (from Wikipedia) is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or…

How is a Turing Test defined?

Turing Test definition taken from wikipedia: The Turing test is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human. In the original illustrative example, a human judge…

How can I do a subtraction with a two tape Turing machine

I have already made a Turing machine with just one tape that solves a subtraction between two numbers, but I trying to do the same but with TWO tapes. As an example, how can I solve 4-2? Taking account that 4 can be represented as 0000, 2 as 00 and…

How "meaningful" is Turing test? Are there better measures?

How "meaningful" is Turing test? Because even though it's sometimes presented as a "scientific" way of classifying the goodness of AI, I do view it as a sort of naive, left-handed way for defining or measuring computer intelligence. Because there…

Status questionis for whether a machine can or can't "think"

In his paper Computer Machinery and Intelligence, Turing addresses some arguments against the ability of a computer to pass the Turing test, such as the Theological Argument, the Mathematical Objection and the Argument from Consciousness. I wonder…

How do we say there is A Turing machine when it does not halt

Generally we will say there is A DFA for a language if we give a string to that DFA and after processing it it will reach to DFA and DFA more or less stops at final state,so then we say there is a DFA, and if that string does not reach final state…
