The Eliza Effect
What we have here is a failure to communicate.
The man who thinks about the the way machines think like humans, our man, D.H.; raises an interesting distinction.
"D.H sat typing in the Chinese room where he often spent hours rearranging the letters in his alphabet soup. These New York Times computer programs ain't got a clue. They're not even guessing! Sure they keep spitting out pretty analogies, and sure they even use lots of parenthesis, but encapsulation is no substitute for taking (the red pill)! --------Hasn't anybody read their Camus? Just because these programs walk and talk like our everyday neighbors doesn't mean they don't think like L'Etranger!"
