The society we live in today is constantly shifting and upgrading the way we are able to communicate with those close (and not so close) around us through the technology we use.
However, when the technology we are using talks back to us, how do we react?
In this video titled Can A Computer Write Poetry, Oscar Schwartz talks about how we view computers, and how we react to a computer doing something as easy as forming a poem together through algorithms.
In the video he discusses The Turing Test, which is something I find pretty fascinating, which puts computers through certain trials to decipher whether or not said computer can respond in the way a human can.
I decided to talk about this video in particular because, as it is scary to think that computers can have (so to speak) 'human thoughts', it is also quite amazing in its own sense.
We have come a long way within our technology; I just hope robots don't end up taking over.
Very interesting topic, Paris! Yea i hope that robot won't take over humans.. In Japan, we have a hotel that robots work for the customers. They do everything. They even show around and take the customers to their staying room. It's quite unbelievable the things are changing because of the improvement of technologies. I would like to stay at that hotel though. Ayaka
