Eliza
Hi! I'm Eliza. What's your problem?
Computers
What is it about machines that
worries you?
They are stupid
I'm not sure I understand you fully
You cannot think
Oh, I cannot think
That is correct
Come, come elucidate your thoughts
why
What else comes to mind when you ask
that?
Bananas
Can you elaborate on that?
What does that suggest to you?
Me
I see
Where are your eyes?
Why are you interested in whether or not I am r
eyes
That is rubbish
I'm not sure I understand you fully
J cannot help that
Come, come elucidate your thoughts
You are repeating yourself
Does it please you to believe I
am repeating myself?
No
Why not?
Please leave the room
Can you elaborate on that?
Go
Say, do you have any psychological
problems?
However it may not be very long before truly intelligent computers are created.
What will happen? Two eminent scientists at MIT have expressed views on this:
Professor Edward Fredken (МГГ) Professor Fredken thinks that the artificial
intelligences of the future will be concerned with weighty problems that humans
cannot understand. He thinks that they may condescend to talk to us occasionally, to
amuse us and to play games that we enjoy. In some sense they might, he suggests,
keep us as pets.
Professor Joseph Weizenbaum (МГГ) Professor Weizenbaum expanded on the
idea of computers keeping us as pets and quoted Arthur C. Clarkc (the author of 2001)
as saying it would serve us right. Weizenbaum queries the use of the word 'us'. He
points out that the thousand or so people working on the high-level computers are
doing so without having asked the rest of 'us' our opinion/permission. We will all be
affected, however, if they produce the monstrosities that are being forecast. He
concludes that this situation says a great deal about the issue of responsibility in
science.
II. Answer the following questions:
1. Do you believe in the computer intelligence?
2. If you had a chance to choose either to be tested by a computer or by a
human being, which would you prefer and why?
3. Do you think the program Eliza is a good one? Why? Identify its merits and
demerits.
