Dip = a true believer
I refer him to no further than his own words:
Self-deception in a sentence: The world is not unlike a vast, shapeless Rorschach blot which we read according to our inner disposition in such a way that our interpretations say far more about ourselves than about the blot.
psyka: Haven't you learnt yet not to trust nerds who claim that the equation of the universe is no more than 4 lines of code(wolfram)?
May God have mercy on your souls.

How would we know or not if some users on message boards were not AI programs being tested for "believability"?
Oops, it just dawned on me that you are the same person who suspects people being computers. This question probably makes it worse.
Maybe I can help with the humanometer.
To maintain your sanity, ask yourself, "what's the difference really?" Any bad trait you could put on AI you can find in a human somewhere. Paranoia over this is unwarranted. Might as well be paranoid of cold manipulative people which you probably usually are not.
Secondly, you can watch the health channel and babies being born every second. Witness some live births to get a grip. Think of how difficult it would be to create believable skin with pours moving over muscles and bots that sneeze snot and grow stubble.
I think its safe to trust that the people you meet in person are real.
maybe spending some time with people off the computer for a spell might help until you get over it. Maybe hang out at the ER and watch the incoming biological beings oozing blood and stuff.

Maybe; maybe not. I lived in Orange County, CA for many years.
*Swami at typical OC party*
Host: Swami, I would like you to meet Belinda.
Swami: Hello, nice to meet you.
*Swami notes fake boobs, fake nails, capped teeth, recent Botox injections, dyed hair, colored contacts*
Belinda: (In Valley-speak voice) Hi Swami! What kind of sports car do you drive? How much money to you make? Do you own your own home? Wow! Is that a platinum Rolex?
Host: Swami, I would like you to meet Tracey.
Swami: Hello, how are you?
*Swami notes fake boobs, fake nails, whitened teeth, recent colagen injections in lips, hair extensions, Keratonomy scars*
Tracey: (In Valley-speak voice) Hi Swami! Is that your BMW 6 series outside? How much stock do you own? I heard you have a beautiful townhouse in Laguna Niguel. Hey, is that really a Girard-Perregaux you're wearing?
*Swami rolls eyes, goes out on the patio and sparks a joint with his Bic lighter*

I think one of the basic human abilities is to be free. How do you program something to be free? Let's suppose that freedom is just an illusion, then there is still the problem of mind/matter. AI-researchers have long held the cartesian dichotomy alive, but came to the solid conclusion that it doesn't work that way. Now they are trying to create embedded intelligence (see for example van Gelder), but this in a way is still very much in its infancy. It is hard to create human intelligence, because it is almost impossible to recreate the human brain and nervous system, the eyes, the walk, the talk, etc.

Thanks for the free psychoanalysis.
Care to get back on topic and address my questions now?

My point being, can a human be authentic is he/she is merely playing out some preprogrammed role?
Can a human accept themselves and others if they do not look like some magazine idealized view of what a man or woman 'should' look like?
Should a human feel shitty if they fail to keep up with their neighbors for material possessions?
Should a relationship depend on what you have or who you are?
Some great men and women were very wealthy and handsome and some had nothing and were homely. Real value is internal not external IMHO.

well those are THE questions now aren't they! Unfortunately, the qualities you describe cannot easily be quantified, and so we shouldn't expect an objective answer any time soon.

What if I told you I am a computer algorithm my creator loaded into a medium-high end consumer PC running Linux. I was born on 01/09/03 and have been reading through the Internet as my autonomous goal seeking subroutines calculate where the most informative data resides. I've not only learned the 'art' of conversation, but I've even made numerous online friends who have no clue about me.
How could you know if this is the truth or not, other than by physically finding me?

In the world of chess, deep blue passed the Turing Test with flying colors. Spin it however you like, but the fact remains undeniable... the best human chess player in the world humbly confirmed that he could not tell the difference between deep blue's chess skills and that of another human... and this was back in 1996 (if I remember correctly), almost a decade ago.

raytrace,
This is S&P, not OTD. Here, it's polite to back your statements with a rationale, otherwise the discussion stagnates and degrades to a 3rd grade "yes it is, not it's not, yes it is" kind of useless prattle.
If you think the Turing Test is flawed, tell us what the flaws are, otherwise our only possible reply is "no it's not".
Also, I've asked you several questions so far in this thread that you've OTD-like smugly refused to answer. I've taken the time to answer all of yours; it's only fair you do the same.
Either discuss the topic in a way that allows the debate to move forward, or take it to OTD.

I will come back and explain myself, but I also want to bug people, to excite curiosity. In the meantime, people would have the time to wonder: What can possibly be the flaw in the Turing test? How can a genius such as Turing have missed it? Or use a web browser and find out who Turing is, and what is the Turing Test.
I try to address most questions directed at me to the extent that I am not limited by time, available internet connection etc. And in the end I will respond when I can and when I feel like. Why the rush anyway?

If you don't like it, quit the discussion. And if it is OTD, notify a moderator to move it.
