1) Check this link to my ‘intelligent’ cybertwin which I also mentioned in the Powerpoint. You may like to create your own cybertwin as well. The more you 'train' your twin, the better the responses will be. While it is just a fun exercise, Think of the opportunities. Imagine if we had a cybertwin that could answer your questions about the course. Or perhaps a shopping assistant?
I created a cyber twin; the link is mycybertwin.com/naomi8246. I am currently still teaching it with the use of the classroom lessons.
Even though I do believe this sort of technology will become a way of the future, I don’t believe it could ever help with questions on the course or shopping as it requires on information input and would already be known by the user. I don’t believe technology should completely replace human interaction and information based conversations.
2) Write a one paragraph describing the Turing test and another paragraph describing an argument against the Turing Test, known as the about the Chinese room.
As defined in the PowerPoint, the Turing test is a proposal for a test of a machine's capability to demonstrate thought. But what does this mean? Basically in the 1950’s Alan Turing developed a theory of the concept that a computer or machine device can act as human. In order to test this theory a human is meant to have a conversation with the machine and if they cannot depict whether the device is human or machine than it passes the test.
The Chinese room is an argument created in the 1980s by John Stearle, which debates the turning tests reliability and actual rate of success. This is because Stearle believes that the test can be manipulated to read symbols which means that the system could not actually think like a real human.
* Question 3 was not answered this week as I wasn't totally sure of the correct answer and I believe customer service can be effective and not effective both in person and online. I didn't think I had enough information to answer the question fully and coherently.
