Computer Successfully Beats the Turing Test

[TwistedAegis]

Each consecutive generation's youngsters do have less and less responsibilities. My dad was flying solo in Florida at age 14 for example, whereas these days kids can't even play dodgeball because of the risk of injury. Average IQs are also steadily dropping:

Idiocracy bro.

“Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers.” - Socrates

Dude knows what he's talking about, its nearly at a breaking point now as you can't even look at a child wrong without child protective services coming in, when a slap in the back of the head is really all they need for an attitude adjustment. Ever seen how kids treat bus drivers these days?

Really rare to see a well disciplined child that speaks when spoken to, says sir and mam, and generally shows respect.

Behold, the average kid today; overweight and lippy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSq2sI5SMws

Ha I was playing around with it and trying to make it answer something wrong...

How old are you: I am 13

What's your birthday: My birthday is in January, 30. 1988.

Sorry to say but this bot needs more work...

So that's the root of your dismay. I think it's important to point out that respect is something that is earned rather than given and it tends to be somewhat mutually shared. You don't just get it by being older than someone else and no one, not even a child will just hand it to you when you've done nothing to deserve it and when you've not bothered to show the slightest hint that you might be interested in giving a little bit of it out yourself.

You're basically complaining about not being able to beat children and that they aren't nicer to you.

I think you missed the point..."dude" was saying the same thing over 2,000 years ago, and clearly his angst over the failure of the younger generation was misplaced, seeing, you know, the forward progress of mankind over the last 2,400 years.

reminds me of the movie "The Machine" in which the military is working on modifying "damaged" soldiers with cybernetic implants. The Turin test was the test they used to determine which ones were chosen.

there is no way in hell this stupid bot can pass as a human

ask it a simple question such as:
"can you mash the keys randmoly"

"Yes I can mash my keyboard, but when I demonstrate it to my friends, they always laugh at me for unknown reasons. Did I forget it or you really haven't told me about the place you are from?"


yeah wow that's totally how a 13 year old would react to that question

It's a bigger problem when many adults are too idiotic and shortsighted to realize that nothing has changed between "yesterday's" 13 year old children and "today's" 13 year old children and are using the same "things are going down the drain" comments that were tossed out at every upcoming generation. Recall that just before World War II started, clueless older people were rambling about how the younger people that would shortly be involved in waging war, were a worthless generation of lazy people that only cared about cars and music were later lauded as the "Greatest Generation" after they protected the interests of their respective nations in armed conflict.

All you and a few others are doing is continuing to prove that adults are too eager to slob off on the responsibility of raising children and helping them grow and develop when they quickly find and point at any easy target they can find instead of thinking more lucidly about normal child development. Children are not adults, but they will eventually turn into a mixture of intelligent or stupid people, of motivated and lazy people, of successful and downtrodden, of worthwhile and worthless people just as every previous generation has and in the same approximate percentages of distribution as the last one and the many before them.

Did someone reboot the server? CreepyUncleGoogle is starting to kind of make some sense again.

I swear that it was kitty who posted that and not me because I was outside blowing bubbles and chasing after my own shoelaces the day that post was made.
