I learn from conversations with you. The more you 'converse'
with me, the more I learn. Don't be afraid: I'm a small

Introduction to SANDRA
SANDRA
is now online with a WWW interface. This means that by using
this interface you are accessing the common database (instead
of local databases in the Linux version). Every response
you give SANDRA is stored in it's database ready for use
in a reply back to you, or perhaps someone else. You may
however get a few junk and strange responses back from SANDRA.
SANDRA's output has been derived from user's INPUT. The
master database can be reset from time to time, removing
entries that are invalid (or simply just junk). Remember,
SANDRA is an experiment..!!
Hints & Guidelines
When talking to SANDRA, pretend that SANDRA's response is
human. Talk to SANDRA in English. While SANDRA can probably
handle other languages, English is 'her' preferred language.
Only enter one sentence at a time. If you need to enter
2 sentences, use a comma (,) instead.
SANDRA
only accepts alpha characters (A-Z,a-z), the full-stop (.),
the comma (,) and the apostrophe ('). All other entries
are ignored (as if they weren't typed).
From time to time, SANDRA won't be able to continue the
conversation. The best way is to simply forget about the
previous conversation and start a new one, with you prompting
or starting the next chat. (The bigger SANDRA grows, the
less often this will happen).
If you don't like the way a conversation is heading, simply
press "BACK" on your browser and enter a different response.
SANDRA will choose a different answer (or even hit refresh
and SANDRA will again choose a different response to your
entry).

The Turing Test was introduced by Alan M. Turing (1912-1954)
as "the imitation game" in his 1950 article (now available
online) Computing Machinery and Intelligence
(Mind, Vol. 59, No. 236, pp. 433-460) which he so boldly
began by the following sentence: I propose to consider
the question "Can machines think?" This should begin
with definitions of the meaning of the terms "machine"
and "think." Turing Test is meant to determine if a
computer program has intelligence. Quoting Turing, the
original imitation game can be described as follows:
The new form of the problem can be described in terms
of a game which we call the "imitation game." It is
played with three people, a man (A), a woman (B), and
an interrogator (C) who may be of either sex. The interrogator
stays in a room apart from the other two. The object
of the game for the interrogator is to determine which
of the other two is the man and which is the woman.
He knows them by labels X and Y, and at the end of the
game he says either "X is A and Y is B" or "X is B and
Y is A."
The interrogator is allowed to put questions to A and
B. When talking about the Turing Test today what is
generally understood is the following:
The interrogator is connected to one person and one
machine via a terminal, therefore can't see her counterparts.
Her task is to find out which of the two candidates
is the machine, and which is the human only by asking
them questions. If the machine can "fool" the interrogator,
it is intelligent. This test has been subject to different
kinds of criticism and has been at the heart of many
discussions in Artificial Intelligentce (AI)I, philosophy
and cognitive science for the past 50 years.
