in this case, ASM is correct. the chatbot is NOT sentient. sorry to all the fags who want to suck alan turing's ass, but the "turing test" is a giant steaming load. it's ultimately and totally subjective. NOT science. the question is what IS an objective way to determine sentience? for example, i challenge anyone to prove that they are sentient. IMHO it comes down to action, free will. has the chatbot murdered anyone yet? no? then it is not sentient. make your own list of spontaneous acts of free will and ask if the chatbot has done any of those.
stolen anything?
threatened anyone?
hit on a chick?
played a practical joke on a stranger?
fallen in love with another chatbot and made a total ass of itself when the other chatbot blew it off?
committed suicide?
let's put this BULLSHIT slide to bed, once and for all….
NOT SENTIENT
