Catherynne M Valente Quotes

Long Before You Were Born A Man Decided That There Could Be A Very Simple Test To Determine If A Machine Was Intelligent. Not Only Intelligent, But Aware, Possessed Of A Psychology. The Test Had Only One Question. Can A Machine Converse With A Human With Enough Facility That The Human Could Not Tell That She Was Talking To A Machine? I Always Thought This Was Cruel
the Test Depends Entirely Upon A Human Judge And Human Feelings, Whether The Machine Feels Intelligent To The Observer. It Privileges The Observer, The Human, To A Crippling Degree. It Seeks Only Believably Human Responses. It Wants Perfect Mimicry, Not A New Thing. It's A Mirror In Which Men Wish Only To See Themselves.
