    I don't imagine that minor code optimisations would make as much difference as shortening the time the user spends on their device. The goal would then be to make websites as conci…

    XD ...I had not thought of it that way yet. It's because the bot itself is naive.

    I expect so. As a next-word prediction algorithm, it knows the probability of "red big" occurring in that order is very low.

    This is a very interesting test. It seems to me that, aside from the prompt bias, it may be detecting "yo be real" category questions by the low statistical probability of the word…

    So far most of this pollution is effectively tagged through accompanying mentions of "GPT", but filtering that from future training data would mean GPT can never learn about itself…

    I know people who talk like this, and the user history checks out. Either way, the comment is misinforming: Those quotes are from Descartes, not Turing, whose views as to whether m…

    I don't think it's just coincidence. A lot of "A or B" questions tend to have B as the correct answer with the first option just being there to confuse the reader. I find it likely…

    Good observation. It is possible that GPT picked up on this statistical tendency. I participated in seven Turing tests, and most of the "X or Y" questions had the latter as the cor…

    Turing only proposed his game as a hypothetical argument, so he barely specified any rules on how to actually perform such a test in practice. He referred to the judging party eith…

    https://artistdetective.wordpress.com I write about Artificial Intelligence, Turing tests, language processing, and a bit of robotics, for a layperson audience. You should read it …

    If this is what your self-driving car asks itself when approaching a ZEBRA CROSSING, you've got bigger issues than just ethics.

    Neural networks as usual. What I make of it is that the programs noticed that some words had more effect than others, and just started spamming those for maximum value. Source: htt…

    The command is "Alexa, laugh". Audio-wise, a mere cough could be interpreted as "laugh", that's why Amazon's solution is to change the command into something more pronounced. Other…

    Thanks for posting (author here). In retrospect I should have written "A.I. news" in the title, I hadn't expected to see it posted on boards with more general topics.

    I participated in the WSC with GOFAI, though I am not representative of the state of the art. I would recommend GOFAI logic combined with a knowledge database assembled through mac…

    The highest scoring entry used a deep neural network: https://www.cc.gatech.edu/~alanwags/DLAI2016/(Liu+)%20IJCAI-... I'd say it's not doing great because deep learning here merely…
