im only going by what is mentioned in the clip. Are you going to post on CBS's website about the invalidity of Charlie's statement as well?

Why dont you go back into the hole you crawled out of or back to your weight loss centre fatass.

This is from Season 4, Episode 10

Wow, that wasn't an accurate description of the Turing test OR the Chinese room!

We have reason to be slightly annoyed at things like this and the CSI Miami "VB GUI INTERFACE"

They contribute to the public's idiocy, because they get false information on a topic they may be interested in.

@confusedmatthew this is the chinese room... it enlarged the topic recalling the turing test but he's not completely right

@truemonolith It isn't it's the chinese room

@somanypenpals It's also a great way to destroy the argument. you have to have something that understands the rules in order to carry them out. This the whole basis for a heir-achy of thought.

One level doesn't NEED to understand the WHOLE thought process in order to be conscious but it does need some part that understands what is going on at some level.

and as it turns out we do have lower level though/brain process that "we" don't understand but influence how we behave in the real world.

For being all of 30 seconds long, that was a pretty good sketch of Searle's "Chinese Room" thought experiment. I mean, what do you expect, an explanation of Turing's motivations for suggesting a behavioristic test of A.I., a brief history of A.I. theory between him and Searle, and then Searle's multi-step argument that includes the infamous thought experiment?

When that same crime show goes into detail about the information, yes they do. And when those details happen to be completely inaccurate, the general public, thinking they've learned about the subject, will be utterly confused when they hear about it in an actual situation, or be embarrassed when they attempt to speak about it. Even if it never comes up in their day to day life, going around believing false information cannot be good for anyone.

Haha that's fucking bullshit

They managed to conflate two loosely related things into one clusterfuck of nonsense

[FireOps]

Chinese, the best and most unbreakable secret code in history!

"You see there was this scientist named Alan Turing who ordered Chinese food and ate it in this room..."

[candIejac]

@chrrybm8 Yes, just like people get information from Fox "news"

[chrrybm8]

@UkitakeTachou

because people get information about computers from 30 second clips on crime shows?
