Plenty of AI scholars question the actual intelligence of LaMDA and other chat bots, but their opinion may be the minority. Constant immersion in a world of screens, immersion to a degree that Turing never imagined, has made Turing's test no longer a test of machines but a test of humans, of what humans will accept as valid.Īlso: It's time for the machines to take over Lemoine became captivated by that bag of tricks.
The joke is on Levesque, however, and on all of us. Such programs "rely heavily on wordplay, jokes, quotations, asides, emotional outbursts, points of order, and so on," writes Levesque, "Everything, it would appear, except clear and direct answers to questions!" Amazon's chief technologist, Werner Vogels, has noted that for the elderly, interaction with Alexa via voice has become interaction with a helpmate and companion of sorts.
Not only is the technology of speech recognition amazing, but the practice of using it constantly is a stunning development in the history of human activity. Like John Henry and the steam engine, humans are increasingly trying to do a machine's job.Īlso: Sentient? Google LaMDA feels like a typical chatbotĭevices such as Amazon's Alexa have conditioned people to speak instructions to a digital assistant. Such activity could, again, conceivably be done as well or better by machine learning algorithms. Humans work around the clock to moderate content on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram Reels, an activity whose sheer volume of labor would have at one time seemed like workplace abuse, but that now is considered a basic necessity to maintain social media empires, and fend off regulators. Humans spend thousands of hours doing piece work on Amazon's Mechanical Turk in order to generate AI test data.
