A.I. Writing Assignment 13

The Turing test is a good test for determining if someone, either person or computer, is intelligent. It is difficult to have a computer program answer a certain question that is asked of it. If the program can reason and put together a reasonable answer, then it has some type of intelligence. But the same way it was a human who created the machines intelligence. In the chatbots online, they are programed to reason so that it can take certain words and figure out how to respond back in an intelligent way. Being an online program, the program can therefore fool the user easily. This issue of whether computers can be intelligent or not is more about the way it is programed because the machine cannot be capable of thinking on its own.
