Turing
“Benvenuti a questa nuova puntata di “La tecnologia ci prende per il culo?” Oggi abbiamo in studio l’inventore del Turing test, that Mr. Turing. Mr Turing, as it has occurred to create a test to see if a machine is able to think independently and to replace man? "
" Thank you for your question. You see, it can happen, ultimately, that mission is completed recordings by automated software, which could, for example, registering thousands of new daily e-mail addresses that they then use to send what we call mail "spam." My test assumes that the distorted images that we have to copy when, for example, we have to register on a site, prevent, in fact, a recognition automatically by a software "
"Mr. Turing, she speaks of distorted images: we can explain precisely how this test?"
"Thank you for your question. For the uninitiated, my aim is to test whether a car is capable of thinking. To do this I created the CAPTCHA images, whose acronym means: How? Damn! Peddavero? Hold me! What? You what? Anvedi! Just that because in Italian did not have the same force as in English, I decided to translate it into: Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart, because this is a tactic to mislead the machine and make him believe a thing rather than a ' other. They are, in fact, distorted images spoken of her "
" thinking machine! I think the thought that machines can think is somewhat disturbing ... You think, when you happen to think that the machines were thinking for themselves? "
" Thank you for your question. The first inkling that the machines themselves were thinking I was the one time the toaster when I added a slice of white bread gave me back a slice of wheat bread, butter and jam with my favorite flavor, berries and cinnamon taste, however, impossible to find "
" A great episode! I mean, who would not like to have machines that can solve problems by itself routine? "
" Thank you for your question. It 's true, like everyone, but I have not finished saying what happened. The toaster, after having returned the slices of bread, he burned with a laser beam that split in two granite-topped table with 8 cm and often ran away, then, the door swinging my cat used to go out garden. I consider myself lucky not to have consequences "
" Heck, the issue becomes serious. But here, then, is not about machines like computers, but machines that everyone, more or less, we have at home or in usufruiamo every day, right? "
"Thank you for your question. In fact, another sign that things were taking a different turn had the one time I went to pick up. I typed everything correctly, but the machine pays me 50 notes of petrodollars on the background of which stands a close-up of Donald Duck with the middle finger raised, and I requested a receipt when I distinctly heard coming from the ATM a sarcastic laugh. I read the writing on the slip: you are a beggar "
" Well, but these, however, if you will, are isolated incidents. Do not you think we want more concrete evidence to say with certainty that the machines are taking over? "" Thank you for your question. Actually I too at first I thought it was sporadic and random, but ... evidence that the machines themselves were quite right, I had that time when my eighteen year old daughter and new drivers parked a Mercedes station wagons in the space where he could be there, yes and no Smart, without causing the slightest scratch the car "
"She is painting a chilling scene! While it is plausible to think of a cash machine that emits petrodollars instead of €, it is absolutely impossible to think that a novice will be able to do what he did his daughter ... "
" Thank you for your question. A. .. "
" Look che non era una domanda...”
“A no?”
“La ringrazio per la domanda. Per terminare quest’intervista, le chiedo un’ultima cosa: secondo Lei, questo CAPTCHA può essere la tecnologia che tutti stavamo aspettando, ovvero il meccanismo che ci aiuta a capire quando sono le macchine ad intervenire al posto dell’essere umano?”
“La ringrazio per la domanda. Se il mio PC mi restituisse il CD in cui ho registrato tutti i miei dati, oltreché il criceto, il cane bassotto e la mia collezione di bottiglie mignon di liquori asiatici, credo proprio di sì...”
