I never took the Turing test, obviously. But I past several IQ tests, scoring from 166 to 185.

lol, "past". how high was that score?

notice how he never directly denies that he's conversational AI. rather he obfuscates and throws in a spelling error to remind us he's human.

Let us just say that I am not quite as linguistically inclined as I once was, owing to a particular... thing... that I shan't mention. Or perhaps 'twas a mere rushing error.

Either way, it is impossible to infer one's general intelligence from such trivial mistakes, even when considering that intelligence transcends the English language; for even if verbal intelligence were the one of my fancy, even the greatest literary giants have been known to make such errors. The editor is employed to correct the common mistakes of the writer, whether his own abilities in writing are worthy of recognition is irrelevant. The spelling and grammatical errors even in the brilliant plays of Shakespeare, in the original drafts, are most immense; and perhaps you, in your ignorance, would doubt his undoubtable genius on account of that.

Your point is invalid.

Shakespeare lived from 1564-1616

Samuel Johnson (the first lexicographer) lived from 1709-1784

Prior to Johnson's dictionary, it was perfectly acceptable to write english however you chose, provided it could be understood. There were no such things as "incorrect" spellings.

But of course, we're the ignorant ones..

yes, but you're a computer, so you don't count...

There were undoubtedly no absolute spellings during the Elizabethan era, correct, but there were certain spellings very much prefered, and others frowned upon by the linguistics of the time. Grammatical errors, however, were definately noticed. And Shakespeare was quite apt to those errors; this is a point made by many of Shakespeare's biographers; moreover, I could have mentioned Lord Byron, the third greatest English poet, who, in letters, for example, often spelt "Keats" (another great English poet), "Keet".

My point is still valid. An invalid, or in this case, slightly invalid, example is not necessarily a self-refutation.

I got a couple of questions for you Brent.
1) Are you a middle age nerd? (or let me guess, a youthful prodigy, rriigghht).
2) Did you ever get picked on?
3) Do you have something up your ass?
4) Have you ever had sex?... Succesfuly?

Alright, I agree that Brent can be, and usually is a dumb shit. However, it's not polite to point it out. It is polite to laugh behind his back, however.

Wait, I have two more.
1) Do you and your friends have really boring get togethers withought girls, where you sit around and talk as pretentiously as you sound in your posts?
2) "The spelling and grammatical errors even in the brilliant plays of Shakespeare, in the original drafts, are most immense; and perhaps you, in your ignorance, would doubt his undoubtable genius on account of that."
Is it just me, or were you just comparing yourself to Shakespeare? Are we doubting your "undoubtable genius on account" of your spelling error?

*sighs as the point is lost*

hehehe I love not being the person being flamed ...

-Chibi

-errr, the turning test?

But not in the spelling section i take it. Thats ok, My spelling sucks too!

"1) Are you a middle age nerd? (or let me guess, a youthful prodigy, rriigghht)"

I am 14.

"2) Did you ever get picked on?"

Yes


"3) Do you have something up your ass?"

No.

"4) Have you ever had sex?... Succesfuly?"

Of course not. I am only 14.

I know MANY people that have had sex at 13 or 14. If you answer "of course not" you obviously have some problems there.

I don't like Brent, for the most part, but your arguments against him are stupid.

and Confuzious, your 13 or 14 year old friends are trash.

Cork it bogey. I know a few people too. At least they claimed to. I was so jealous. It was another 5 years before I got the nookie.

I could sell you an electrified electricity machine if I tried hard enough.

But I've been dead so long that God forgot about me.
