Agreed, but that is fine: it is not a Turing test, it is a test based
on the extravagant claims made by Woody Long, Rick Geniale Enterprises
Corp. and Machine Consciousness Inc.
My understanding of their claims is that their systems are full-up AGIs
with greater (or at least faster) than human intelligence. being
machines, they should also be closely coupled to the internet and able
to do research much more efficiently than we can.
I will concede that the real-time questions should be just as subtle,
but not involve assumptions about lengthy research in difficult areas.
More importantly: I want to know if Woody and the other two will say
that they expect their systems to be able to take the test.
What about it Woody?
