Are you a human or a robot?

[Janos Biro]

Please answer this simple question: What's the hexadecimal code for the 1.982.128.129th digit of Pi?

[CaptainD]

B

Are you a computer assisted human or a robot?

Please answer this simple question: You are walking down a road and you see a turtle turned upside down, but you don't help the turtle. Why?

[Atelier]

Turtles can flip themselves back over!

Are you a human or a very advanced robot?

Please answer this simple question: You are a robot, and you are asked this very question. Do you answer it?

[Ryan Timothy B]

Are we human or are we dancers?

Now that's a serious question!

[CaptainD]

What if I'm a robot but think I'm a human?  WHAT THEN?!?

[Janos Biro]

Are you a defective human or a not so advanced robot?

Please answer this simple question: You are John Searle and you discover that you are actually a very advanced robot. What do you do?

[CaptainD]

In that instance I would have to do 4 things:

1 - Write a best-selling book about it
2 - Learn Chinese
3 - Watch Bladerunner again
4 - Spam the "Guess the Movie" thread with silly Bladerunner guesses



Wait...


Can Ponch speak Chinese?

Ok, last question: You are Daniel Dennett and you just converted to christianism. Would you shave your beard?

You mean he's pick up line?

If some sociopaths, that are well integrated into society, actually "simulate" "normal" human behaviour/reactions (try to act like everybody else, because usually are unable to establish usual emotional relations to the world around them), does that make them more like an advanced AI or more human?

I get really excited with this video, does it make me human?

That's a good question. But I think it would lead to the following question: Are anencephalic babies (babies that are born partially "without brain") still human? What makes us human is just our behavior? I bet most people who use CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) don't think about it.

I get really excited with this video, does it make me human?

The real question is: can you prove your excitement is real?

[miguel]

Well, why would I post a German song from the 80's if I wasn't totally excited?
I fell asleep with her voice so many times as well...

[Janos Biro]

To be very rigorous, I would say that you could have been programmed with a list of such songs, so that doesn't prove anything, really. We are still required to believe that you are human, without any means to scientifically eliminate the other hypothesis. If you were a robot trying to simulate human emotions, posting songs that cause emotional reactions would be the logical approach. Very advanced robots could hypothetically create a hierarchical list of words commonly used to express an emotional reaction to use when a human starts to get suspicious.

[miguel]

Oh believe me, no robot could possibly simulate me, it would have its digital testicles deactivated.

[Janos Biro]

Humor. Interesting.
