This question is a duplicate of another question (https://manifold.markets/dreev/will-ai-pass-the-turing-test-by-202) scheduled to close later. It is based on a bet between Ray Kurzweil and Mitchell Kapor, found here: https://longbets.org/1/
This question will only resolve YES if the Long Now Foundation announces that Ray Kurzweil won the bet. It will resolve to NO if Mitchell Kapor is announced the winner instead.
Each Turing Test Session will consist of at least three Turing Test Trials. For each such Turing Test Trial, a set of Turing Test Interviews will take place, followed by voting by the Turing Test Judges as described below.
> Using its best judgment, the Turing Test Committee will appoint three Humans to be the Turing Test Judges.
> Using its best judgment, the Turing Test Committee will appoint three Humans to be the Turing Test Human Foils. The Turing Test Human Foils should not be known (either personally or by reputation) to the Turing Test Judges.
> During the Turing Test Interviews (for each Turing Test Trial), each of the three Turing Test Judges will conduct online interviews of each of the four Turing Test Candidates (i.e., the Computer and the three Turing Test Human Foils) for two hours each for a total of eight hours of interviews conducted by each of the three Turing Test Judges (for a total of 24 hours of interviews).
> The Turing Test Interviews will consist of online text messages sent back and forth as in a online "instant messaging" chat, as that concept is understood in the year 2001.
Feb 18, 3:20pm: To clarify, Ray Kurzweil's position is that the Turing Test will be passed by a computer by 2029. In particular, the Long Now Foundation will arrange a Turing Test, and will decide the winner of the bet based on the results of that Turing Test. No other Turing Test will play a role in deciding who wins this bet.
