The purpose of the Turing test is to determine whether a machine has "intelligence" similar to humans.
Test method: If a person (codename C) uses a language understood by the test subjects to ask any series of questions to two objects he cannot see. The subjects are: one is a normal thinking person (codename B), and the other is a machine (codename A). If after several inquiries, C cannot draw a substantial difference to distinguish the difference between A and B, then this machine A passes the Turing test.
The essence of the Turing test
In essence, the Turing test is to allow the machine to imitate humans to the greatest extent, rather than to make the machine more intelligent. In addition, the Turing test is limited to text communication, which almost completely denies the functions of rapid calculation and information query of artificial intelligence, which are the most practical parts of artificial intelligence.
In addition to conversation, today’s AI needs to be upgraded and optimized in listening, seeing and feeling to meet some more practical daily needs. For example, smart homes, driverless cars, etc. need to liberate people from tedious and complicated work, rather than just being obsessed with making artificial intelligence more difficult to distinguish from humans.
