Chapter 534: Chinese House and Turing Test

The Chinese House thought experiment was put forward by American philosopher John Sale in 1980. The experiment is to put a person who can only speak English in an approximately closed room, and can only communicate externally through a small window, and You can only communicate in words, not languages. He has a book on Chinese translation programs by his side. Others sent Chinese notes to the room through a small window. People in the room could translate these texts through translation books and reply in Chinese. Even if the person does not understand Chinese at all, relying on this book can make people outside the room think he is proficient in Chinese.

You see, the book can only speak English, aren't these two conditions just met?

Searle used this thought experiment to fight back against the Turing test, and he did. All current artificial intelligence cannot break through the shackles of the Chinese House experiment. The computer showed an intelligent response to the questioner outside the room, but didn't really understand what was happening.

The Turing test is a thought experiment proposed by Allen Turing in 1950. It means that the tester is far away from the testee and communicates with each other through some specific devices such as the keyboard. If the tester cannot judge the testee Whether it is a human or a machine, it means that the machine has passed the test, and it can be considered that the testee has intelligence equivalent to humans.

This elf can make readers mistakenly think that he is a person, like a prankster, if it is really an artificial intelligence, it must be regarded as a Turing test.

However, is it even artificial intelligence to pass the Turing test? Searle answered "No" with a Chinese House thought experiment.

The sparks from the two 30-year-old thought experiment collision between the two cow fork characters were enough to write a thick monograph, and Zhang Zi'an only heard it a little.

As for why it is a Chinese house instead of a Portuguese or German house, it is because Westerners generally think that Chinese is as difficult as heaven, and it is not something that humans can learn ...

Although the Chinese House thought experiment is not as famous as Schrödinger's cat, everyone knows it in the field of artificial intelligence and computers.

Zhang Zi'an's guess was only for a short while in his mind, and he was denied by himself because it was too far-fetched.

First of all, although the Chinese House thought test satisfies the two conditions of "book" and "English", the test itself has nothing to do with animals.

Secondly, Alpha Dog is just a joke from the Chinese to the supercomputer AlphaGo. Since "Dog" and "Go" are basically pronounced the same way, they go wild, in fact AlphaGo is not a dog at all.

Finally, suppose that indeed a dog named Alpha has become an elf, but artificial intelligence is in the ascendant period, and a lot of funds and technology have poured into this field. Everyone is optimistic about the development prospects of artificial intelligence in the 21st century. Therefore, the power of this Alpha dog's faith should be continually condensing, how can it quickly dissipate?

In summary of the above three points, Zhang Zi'an concluded that his guess was wrong. This elf will not be an artificial intelligence elf.

Moreover……

He pulled out his phone and entered the game interface.

If a sprite in the game is a real artificial sprite, it must be [Navigation Sprite].

Alpha dogs are not worthy of being an elf, it is just the primary stage of artificial intelligence, and it is not enough.

"Are you the navigation wizard?" He whispered to the phone, unmuted it, and turned the voice down.

[Navigation Wizard]: Serve you at any time.

"Are you an artificial intelligence?" He asked again.

[Navigation Wizard]: I am your navigation wizard.

Such a drip-free and high-cold answer made Zhang Zi'an think that the navigation wizard was a 24-hour manual customer service when he first downloaded the game, so the navigation wizard passed the Turing test properly.

Mr. Zhou Lao was reading a book, and Yu Guang in the corner of his eye saw Zhang Zi'an talking with his mobile phone. He kindly reminded him, "Young man, we don't allow mobile phones here."

Zhang Zi'an smiled slightly and turned off the phone screen. "I see."

His eyes fell back on the computer screen, seeing the frequent questions of regular customers come to an end, and he asked the second question in English.

[Daishuabi]: What book?

The chat room does not provide a private chat function, all chat conversations must be conducted in full view.

Soon, the elf also responded in English, still mixed with a large number of numbers, which was difficult and spicy to read.

[3.1415926]: My book, I want my book.

[Coachman]: Is this book heavy?

[3.1415926]: Without books, I would disappear from this world.

Seeing it here, Zhang Zi'an finally had a good heart—as it is, it seems that this book is the key to capturing this elf.

Most other people don't think so. In their opinion, this person is completely alarmist. He wants to use this to gain attention and maybe donate something later. They are book-thirsty people, but even then they don't say funny things like "I will die without a book".

Zhang Zi'an is very clear that the meaning of "will disappear" and "will die" can not be confused, but others do not know.

Some people also think that this prankster may be suffering from mental illness, and especially this girl has some sympathy.

[]: What is the title of the book? We can help you find it.

[3.1415926]: No name.

[]: No title? You always know what the content is about?

For the bookworms who have been soaking in the library all day, finding books is their special skill. Even library staff may not be better than them at finding books ~ www.readwn.com ~ and others are very confident, As long as pranksters say what the book is about, they can narrow it down to an acceptable level and then brainstorm further.

Zhang Zi'an knew inferior to them in this respect, so he watched quietly.

[3.1415926]: Life, the universe and everything.

[]:Ah ha ha! I have read this book! Did you say there was no title? Isn't this the third installment of the Guide to the Milky Way by Douglas Adams! Wait, I'll find it for you right away!

Not only her, but many of the regulars have seen this classic science fiction novel. A few people left the chair and acted together. They passed quickly by Zhang Zi'an and walked towards the stairs. Someone went to the second floor to find the Chinese version, and some went to the third. Lou find English and other language versions. They are usually not so enthusiastic and actionable, but this time they just want to take a peek at the true face of the prankster-you claim that you will die without a book, then we found the book for you, you always come over to get it?

Zhang Zi'an sat on the chair without moving, and continued to think.

He thought things were not so simple, otherwise the capture of this elf would not be extremely difficult.
