Well, that wasn't typically what I wrote for the Guardian, but even if it was, you have to research what you write about if you are not aware of the facts, but this was a machine writing about itself, so, no additional time required to research stuff before commencing writing, thus there is even less excuse for it taking a couple of hours to be honest.

 

Your research was nothing like "scientific research" though. It may have been writing about itself but also researching the field of artificial inteligence in a much broader sense to enable it to come to those conclusions about itself.

But yes, for a computer program it does seem slow. I'm sure the researcher could give us a good explanation as to why. Hopefully that explanation doesn't involve taking time out to plot world domination. 👍

The question here, I think, is not whether the machine is sentient but whether we are.  After all, don't we all follow a set of rules that we ourselves make up based on our experiences and genetic predisposition?

I greatly fear that possibly as much as one-third of Americans would fail the "Turing Test..." 🤣
