They should have tested that annoying SmarterChild.

Ya. (Taking a class on consciousness) Looks like a lot of b.s.

Until we have a clear definition of consciousness and know exactly where and how it works, it'll never ever happen.

Well, the testing was apparently based on the machines' ability to fool humans into thinking they were speaking to fellow humans.

Being programmed to imitate human behaviour convincingly does not constitute intelligent thought.

I wonder what would happen if one of those intelligent AIs were to join the SWRP?

We'd probably ban it, thinking it's a bot.

If it could fool a quarter of the people into thinking it was a human, we might just call it a troll or some stupid person. Plus, unlike the judges, we don't think of the possibility that a new member could be a bot unless it makes itself incredibly clear.

Considering the fact that AI is still not very advanced, we'd think it's either a smart bot, or a stupid troll.
