DB # ?

1- Is the Turing test a valid test of intelligence? Why or why not?
2- List several mental task that people do better than computers. List several mental tasks that computers do better than people. Can you find any general characteristics that distinguish the items on the two lists?

  1. I don't think the turning test is a valid test of intelligence because i do not think the question you have to figure out is valid enough. Having to distinguish the humans questions from the computers questions is just s weird task. A math question would be better or so.
  2. People are better at doing tasks which involve logic, such as solving an argument and such. Computers are better at solving math problems and getting rid of viruses. As for characteristics, computers have a database of information such as 2+2=4. They will never forget such things so they are better at that. But things such as poems which rely on reading between the lines, and analyzing stuff, humans are better at that.
