A MOVING SHIP

Hey guys!
I was feeling all poetic all of a sudden so i decided to put this up. Now, the true meaning and reason

behind the poem will be posted later on.

But for now, feel free to try and get into my head and guess what this poem is about. cheers!

The perfect sunset, the birth of a beautiful thing.

A rising tide caused by attraction.

The Newtonian force is overcome.

A great struggle for the sea from thirst.

An empty vase, an active infant.

A misguided emotion, a great daydreamer.

A sinking ship, a soul, seeking space.

A union of two: compromised by restriction.

PRESENT-DAY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

I have been reading some interesting stuff about Artificial intelligence and i thought i should just share this here. This isn't the usual good stuff you get from me but it's worth a read.

 The Turing test is a proposal for a test of a machine's capability to perform human-like conversation. Described by Alan Turing in the 1950 paper "Computing machinery and intelligence", it proceeds as follows: a human judge engages in a natural language conversation with two other parties, one a human and the other a machine; if the judge cannot reliably tell which is which, then the machine is said to pass the test. It is assumed that both the human and the machine try to appear human. In order to keep the test setting simple and universal (to explicitly test the linguistic capability of some machine), the conversation is usually limited to a text-only channel such as a teletype machine as Turing suggested or, more recently, IRC or IM.

The most prevalent debunking point in most of the objections was that computers couldn't think, have original feelings and their conscience  is defined by prewritten codes hence that sense of originality with respect to action will be lacking. Also, the inability of a computer to process and compute instructions holistically is still a major flaw. Even though we as humans have come a long way in making multi-processor super computers which can give us real-time word suggestions just as auto correct or even interact with us like Cortana in the windows update, the computer's emotions are still limited in the fact that they cant say " I'm sorry" when we cry or even say bye bye if and when they see us leaving.

Cortana was able to recognize my voice and repeat exactly what I said. Some humans including family have failed this test a couple of times. The down side was I had to wait a couple of minutes before my input voice note was processed by remote servers which on the second try told me that a network error interrupted the whole process. Regarding this, computers haven't as of the year 2014 been able to clearly analyse the senses a normal human will take seconds to process. I don't see that happening in 50 years to come either. Just as a human cannot give emotions and re-configure the conscience of another person, a human cannot rightly give emotions and re-configure the conscience of a machine or computer.
