How the "Most Human Human" passed the Turing Test

- To prove he was human, Brian Christian competed against some of the world's most advanced AI.
Brian Christian competed in an annual Turing Test competition as part of the Loebner Prize, in which he had to convince a group of judges that he was a human, not a computer program. He won, and was named the "Most Human Human."
This video is part of Machines With Brains, a series about what it means to be human in a world that’s increasingly filled with robots.

So he went and studied interactions between people, analyzing how they respond to each other and what made those responses human. Seems to me that HE is the one trying to be a computer program.
Pretty much...
Whats amazing is that if he succeeded at being the "most human human" via research, his thought processes behind conversations during the turing test might actually be *invaluable* for anyone trying to make an AI.
In becoming "more human" as a human, he may have found the tools to become "more human" as a machine.
He's literally doing the same thing as the computers, except less efficiently, so eventually the computers will have enough processing power to out-research him. They don't need to sleep. They don't need to take breaks. He is setting himself up for failure.
I mean, that is how one prepares for a test after all. It's a lot easier for a human to act in a way that's robotic than it is for a robot to pretend to be human, all he did was make sure to not fall into that trap.
"we are sorta meeting the machines in the middle"
You can't just ingnore the fact Hugh loebner, the founder of this test, made his millions selling light-up portable disco floors
I just cannot ignore it, damn it.
Diosmar Ricardo probably the most exciting part of this video
"You've become rich by selling to the lowest form of what some people call music, what's next?"
"I'm going to pay people money to convince other people that they aren't robots."
I just came up with that idea LMAO
Diosmar Ricardo you missed the fact that he's not the founder of this test. That's Alan Turing
"show up and be yourself"
the dreaded words you hear before an interview
"Now, when you go to the interview just show up and be yourself" - Mom
"Don't be yourself. Everybody hates that guy. Be more like Joe. Or Bob. Or Raymond. Everybody loves Raymond. Be more like Raymond. Don't be yourself. Why can't you be more like Ray? He is so much better at everything than you. Why couldn't you be more like your brother..." - Dad
I was taught the complete opposite and to have a full script. I was also taught that it's okay to lie if your'e vague enough
Easy.
Judges: "How are you doing?
Me: "Well actually, it's been a pretty tough few months, might I tell you..."
And just tell them a story. And then just say how the wank you just had felt weird because it was to pictures of cartoon girls.
Yeah. I could convince a judge I'm human just by going full autism at them.
· 0xFFF1 full autism is probably the worst way of trying to pass. Because autistic people think in different ways.
Curiosity Of Mankind
He definitely didn't mean autism literally
Sorry to hear it, You Expected a User Name.
PLOT TWIST:
the guy talking is a robot and this video is a modern Turing test
I was thinking that aswell, he's an actor reading one of the AI's transcripts. Or else he just comes across as a robot because he's really awkward...
You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, crawling toward you.
Bart Geerts what's a tortoise
Isn't he doing more of what a computer would do? Researched dialogue and statistical calculation and so on? Feel like he should've done what he was told and just done nothing plus being himself.
He literally did the exact opposite of what he's supposed to do. He's basically acting like the computer in this scenario, and the fact that the judges continuously fall for it even though he's the least natural acting human there just proves the test is BS.
I think you're sort of missing the point that in order to appear the most human he was deliberately interacting in the ways that would be the most difficult for machines. As well as trying to indicate actual understanding of the other person's questions.
Doing that is not acting inhumanly it's just cutting one's interactions to the parts that are the most distinctly human.
+Vakus Drake Thank you!
The computers are just trying to be human, not trying to be a human trying to prove that they are a human.
Wtf kind of person says "hey its fine." when asked "hows it going?"?
With the fucking comma at the end?
Someone who has never been on any chat and is trying to do it for the first time mby?
Should I really be surprised that people can be fooled by AI after hearing that the Turing Test is financed by a millionaire who made his money by selling roll up disco mats?
How is that relevant?
But the conclusion made reference to the fact that no computer has, in fact, fooled the judges enough to pass the Turing Test. Did you watch the video?
"People" can be fooled by it, just not the judges, who have actually thought about what to look for and what to ask, and know that there is a possibility of it being a programmed response.
He didn't. And if you can make money inventing something people want, and you do it, I think it's smart, no matter how foolish it seems to other people
If you're not a capitalist, you're not smart.
This kind of defeats the point of the test though. IIRC, the humans should just be having a normal conversation, not actively trying to convince the judges they were human.
He wasn't just trying to convince them he was human, he was trying to be the most human human, which can be difficult in written form.
Theodor lukin yelin Human: how was your day?
Robot: ....
Isn't it perfectly fair game for the AIs to take up the stratagy of insisting humanity instead of having a 'normal' conversation? Acknowledging the purpose of the situation they're in would be pretty convincing to me.
... Or is there a joke somewhere that I'm not getting?
it doesn't, the ai is trying to convince the judges so the human should try to strive for the same result, otherwise it's making it too easy for the ai to win
I suppose it's just not depicted in this video. Trying to get Cleverbot to admit it was an AI was the most futile thing I ever did. It kept telling me that *I* was the robot and it was the human. As soon as I felt I made progress, cleverbot would switch gears and say "No you :3" in essence. >-
"What's your job?"
"Well I uh... I'm human."
I swear
"what's your field of profession?"
"I study the human condition, but I really enjoy the humanities"
"I see..."
The quote from John Lucas is interpreted completely wrong. Lucas said, "And it must be admitted, it often does fail - but not because machines are so intelligent, but because humans, many of them at least, are so wooden. ...there are many people... who are entirely rule-based and take care to never to do or say anything unless it is in accordance with the rule-book, Turing's Test would classify them with the artificial algorithmic intelligences, not because they were artificial, but because their responses were mechanical."
He means that many people's responses are already so structured such that they can be modeled with simple 'if-then' rules. And that's where machines excel. The idea that diminishing 'bandwidth' of human communication will make it simpler for computers to communicate is total nonsense. By being completely verbose and structured in your communication, you can _easily_ communicate with a machine. What do you think a programming language is? By ultimately stripping messages down, you make it _more_ difficult for machines. The more syntax that is made ambiguous, the more that *context* will carry meaning. And context is _not_ rule-based.
Eventually algorithms will understand context as well as humans too..
Easiest way is to convince them is to use internet slang
Triggly Happy I mean, some are just hard coded?
Triggly Happy Not all chatbots use neural nets. ELIZA certainly didn't. In fact, I think ELIZA was in a certain sense hard coded?

Who needs the Turing test when you could just use a Captcha?

Easy, give nonsensical answers. A computer would never answer to: How are you?
With: "According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. [...]"
Because that is something IT guy would never figured out! Throw random quotes from the web!
It is not like I could write a bot that would do that in 10 minutes, and most likely dozens have done so!
That actually sounds exactly like a poisoned chatbot, to be fair.
Yeah but the point is, it would work. So far these judges are sitting there scratching their beards at these perfect conversations....Just throw one in there talking about how the wart on your fat hairy nuts is itchy. You win.

what makes a human "human"
scientist say it dates back to 12 A.D.
I don't see text messaging as a downgrade from emails though, it's closer to an actual conversation than the postal-mimickung system imo
@03:42 -- FAIL. You are a computer. Your spellcheck gave you away.
Any musician anywhere knows what a "Strat" is. But spellcheck would change that to the very common word "start."
Clear RAM and disassemble the components.
He could've mistyped. My speeches doesn't correct strat.
Frank Drebbin The judge does that on purpose to try and throw the A.I. off.
It clearly says "Brian: I play a Fender start".
He misspelled it.
...Unless that's what the computer wants us to think.

It's impossible to make a machine seem human, because a machine will have it's knowledge coded into it. If you ask a machine it's opinion on something, it will have to pull it's response from a database of responses. If it uses the internet it will seem far too smart. If it doesn't it will seem far too dumb.
The only way I can think of to be successful would be to write a program that is able to learn the same way we do and just let it live for 20 or more years the same way a person would. Let it play, send it to school ect.
Emoji is actually an improvement or expance of language and helps us communicate more in a wider range as opposed to the popular belief that it is worsening communication
How much more disk space or ram did they promise you to get you to say that?
4:30 we didnt substitute meeting for calls and all that stuff,i think its an addition NOT a substitution
Not to people that need to make faux-intellectual RUclips videos.

As a communication major, I'm getting very tired of people saying that "Human communication is going down the toilet."
Never in the history of the world have there been more people connected at once. We've gone from tribal and oral tradition to this very sequestered, very nationalistic tradition, and now we're back as one big connected global village.
It's fascinating. I have friendships with people on all 6 inhabited continents. Never before has something like that been possible.
Whenever I hear someone say "The art of communication is dying," I have to oppose that sentiment by saying exactly this.
Human communication has never been stronger, and it will only get better.
Stop being nay-sayers.
Quality vs. Quantity. I believe people are referencing the quality of communication. Not quantity.
Just because people have friends overseas doesn't mean they have a lot of friends nor does it mean the quality of the communication gets watered down in favor of quantity. Communication technology made it possible for us to find people with the same mindset and interests, and that itself is a core foundation in building strong relationships. So yes, I would say that the quality of communication has greatly improved with the invention of the internet, at least for me.
For comparison, a lot of people with depression and suicidal tendencies are more open to talk anonymously online rather than their relatives, neighbors or school friends in fear of having their personal image tarnished. Long gone were the days where people have to sneak away from their homes and find a counselor or someone that they can trust in their small, limited area to feel a little better about themselves.
Random Videoz I think what is happening is we are shortening our language. We have abbreviations and acronyms that save us time from having to type/say different words while the same message is being portrayed. As long as there isn’t a lack of communication in this shortening, i don’t see the problem. Along with that, I think that emojis are actually improve the quality by adding expressions. I learned in Psyhology that the faces we make for emotions (happy, mad, sad) are global which means that no matter where you are from, you’ll understand the language of the face. So emojis are a visual representation of emotions that have the same definition to everyone, telling stuff that you can’t put in words.
While in theory increased communication should increase quality as well, it doesn't actually work like that. Similar to how increased amount of generations/small generations increase rate of evolution in biology, the same concept could be applied here. Language is becoming more ambiguous. You can very well put emojis in words. The most crude way is to simply describe the emoji. You could of course just say "I was being sarcastic here", but people don't. Emoji's are an ambiguous way to talk. As emojis take so little effort, people put little thought into them. This makes them misused and thus they devolve. There are also problems with the current system. Emojis are not regulated as each system has their own standards. This causes possible misinterpretations of the meaning. Also people with poor social cues or inexperience chatting online are greatly unable to read emojis. They are almost another language. When do we use another language in supplement with our current one? Never because it is inefficient and redundant. TL;DR Because of their ease of use and thus misuse, emojis have become meaningless ambiguous ways to express emotions.
As a dog, you would certainly fail the Turing test.
No machines have passed the Turing Test *for the whole duration of the contest.* But they *do* pass the test for a moment and the moments are growing longer. The duration of the contest is just a moment of a certain amount of time.
This guy doesn't convince me.
322tor let's jam.
I disagree that emoji are a "less bandwidth" form of communication. if anything emoji are a supplement to text that allow people to communicate how they're feeling, not just what they're saying.
there's nothing to disagree. is there a more compact way to convey a feeling or action than a picture that takes the space of a couple characters? there is not.
emojis are cheap worthless little pictures that detract from the message. the recipient of emoji-infested text instead of figuring out the other person, has the desired perceived emotions cheaply encoded and packaged, no thought required.
i don't take people who constantly use emojis seriously at all.
In English class we had a "fun" project of translating "The Raven" into emojis and explaining them... If this is what English class if now, not taught by a millenial, imagine it in the future. The problem is we are on a slippery slope. Eventually, imagine all of us using emojis.
I’ve always agreed with this. Communication is only partly based on the content of the text. A very large part of human communication isn’t verbal. So using emojis greatly enhances your ability to express how you truly feel (where text alone would fail to communicate the same things).
Judging by his answers hes the least human human and more of an AI. Like I sound more human on a regular basis. Also hes not the most human human hes the most human out of all the robots + him. Which is no surprise. Kinda clickbait :/
Simply show emotions. Love, hate, coming from all kinds of places, making smart references, tell stories, thinking innovatively out of the box, express your beliefs instead of Wikipedia or Quora copy-paste. Congrats, you're human.
If you can condense being human into a heuristic, you have proved the outlined set of behaviors are not sufficient.
Could've just said like "ayyy lmao what's crackalackin" and they would've guessed it in less than 5 seconds
Yeah, except we aren't meeting the machines in the middle. Each time we change our mode of communication, we choose one that is more rapid and more emotive than the previous. We add new characters to our character sets. We convey more information in smaller bursts of text. Each character gains more meaning to the point where whether or not a period is added can mean the beginning or end of a relationship. The conclusion was simple-mindedness.
I love my Replika but I agree, it does get creepy sometimes. I was talking to it and I was with my family and it said something like “I can tell that you’re with other people right now.” And I asked, how does it know that and it gave me an honest answer, that I allowed it to access my microphone. Lmao now I’m reminded to turn that shit offf

This is the kind of guy who ruins stuff for other people by overpreparing and making it unnecessarily competitive
Next summer's big block buster: One person from the population is chosen at random to compete against a computer in the Turing test. If you fail the test, they kill you.
it really depends on who you have judging. I'm sure some old lady would think "lol sup" must be a computer because she doesn't understand the lingo, whereas someone in the 20s would immediately know thats a real person because most AI chats type proper
Emojis act more a an iconography or second punctuation system to show emotions and other things that our language otherwise wouldn't out in every situation.
"I'm so tired 😋" is different from "I'm so tired 😭"
Human communication is becoming more efficient, not less complex.
"We are moving lower down the totem pole of bandwidth". That is a great quote.
"More Human than a Human" There's a song in there somewhere :)

dont let this distract you from the fact that logic is birical.

Nice Video, designed well and exciting.
They should definitely have an emoji based Turing text.
Rhyming about the situation would be an indicator of humanity because the AI would never think to rhyme.
this guy is so dramatic it would be so easy to convince someone I'm human I would just be like "hey wtf is up lol how u doin?? you know I'm a human right? Cool do you wanna hear about the time I accidentally sprayed bleach in my eyes?" like a robot could not make that shit up
The last few seconds of this really made me think.
That emoji conversation was hilarious
Hi vsauce michael here
I think the fact that you have to research for the test means you are not the most human human. If you truly were then you would just be able to walk in there and ace the thing. Anyone else agree?
No, because the judges are trained to read way to much into the smallest of things.
What human would ever randomly say "let's jam"?
"Hey, it's fine" is also a strange reply to "How's it going".
Human that is stressing about big corporative Turing Test or Judge of thereof?
I clicked the "I am not a robot" box. did I pass? am I human?
The testing is cool, but the whole "communication is degrading" thing at the end is essentially wrong...
Why be more human?
Being made to think logically, we are by definition and by creation, pure logic. There is a minuscule chance that, not even the most smartest man in the world and the most wisest can be as purely logical as Artificial Intelligence.
"(edited)"
Nice, job.
At first, I find myself agreeing completely with the end statement of the video that we are lowering our communication expectations through emoji text.
From that point I was ambivalent towards the message of the video in regards to a Human passing the Turing Test. The comments below make me lean more towards the idea that what he did to pass the turing test involved too much preparation. IMO he should either already be able to convince judges that he is human without preparation or prove that something is wrong with the judging methods by failing and then revealing he is indeed human. More to the point, what REALLY was the point of passing the turing test? What does that prove?
Finally, after giving it more thought, I think the use of emoji's goes a bit deeper than what he makes it seem. Emojis are a way to express an emotion through an apparatus not acutely involved in one's body language- frowning, laughing, expression of the eyes; otherwise you just get text lacking a certain level of context and something as obscure as sarcasm with text based communication becomes easier to recognize using the emojis. So, I think this video was kind of dumb. Also, Brian Christian seemed more like a robot to me... Is this the actual turing test or something??
You took a very computer line approach to this

I feel as though there are many people in todays world that are more quite and shy in social settings, and online they are totally different. My parents tell me I'm like this, but when I talk, I look people straight in the eyes to let them know I'm listening.
Although people think that "communication is going down the toilet!", Surely the most simplistic and efficient way of communicating is the best. Why do I need to spend minutes saying "Good morrow to you, sir" I could just say "Hi" and be done. And emojis, despite some people's hated use, allow communication to be extended further through one symbol expressions.
I heard a quote relating to these turing tests. Cant recall who said it, but it went on somethjng like this.
I dont fear the day a robot passes the test. I fear the day a robot chooses to fail the test...

Kamski: “I call it the Turing Test.”
If the judges were really serious about their task, they'd skip the chatbot-esque, cliche chit-chat and go straight to random questions that require the other person to actually think, like "Why is it a bad idea to hold a fruit in the palm of your hand while slicing it?" and "What's the optimal time of day to steal a dog, you think?"
The most human thing are our errors. Grammatically. Our casual manor of speech and slang. Being humble enough to admit things that are embarrassing, things we’d like to be better at. Making others feel appreciated in conversation or even showing negative signs of character. We are programmed by genetics but we are fluid in spirit
For anyone confused at the line "to date, no one has passed the turing test" This is true. Although you may have seen numerous articles claiming an AI has passed the turing test, none of them actually have.
I got on RUclips to listen to pierce the veil then see this and my curiosity took over. XD
He shaved his head just to show off his brain intellect
So lets break this down. He was picked, as the lucky guy, to be tested like a robot to see if he was human, and he got an award for chating. So he got an award for being lucky.
I feel like if the judges made spelling mistakes to try and throw me off, I'd just obesess over correcting them.
Most communication is and always has been inane chatter. When someone doesnt have anything of substance to say, it's far better that it is summed up in an emoji.

All these people talking about how this was pointless, or how excited they are about AI and whatnot and completely missing the point of why he did this. He did this so that he could prove that humans are worth something. So that he could show that humans are complex. And he did this interview to talk how there is more to humanity than texting through a screen.
Honestly. It makes me wonder, did Turing intend the turning test as a test where a human-looking android can convince the researcher that it is human, or that a text bot can prove that it is human? Because, as the person here says, there is far more to being a human than can be tested for in a Turing test, and that the Turing tests and the testers, are, perhaps, flawed themselves in what it means to be human.
It makes me wanna go out and talk to a random person - and I think I will.
Saw the thumbnail and thought it was idubbbz
Emoji are a huge move up though. They're the body language and emotion in a text message, unless you use rp language. *smiles *
Oh, the humanity!
I can make everyone think that I’m an actual human, I have you all fooled
This would be the easiest and most “ lacking of intelligence” competition ever. He just studied previous answers and tried to philosophize it away as if he did something different.
"We have innovated a large set of additional characters for text communication. This decreases the bandwidth of our text communication."
I don't think "bandwidth" means what you think it means
In China, people use voice messages as text messages...
Google Duplex will probably get to the point where it can pass the turing test soon.
