Claims / C-W0Q1T74PTR
EmpiricalRequires evidence
Deutsch's 2011 statement that conversational programs were still no better than ELIZA at seeming to think was a report of current capability, and it is perishable; I believe, unsourced here, that by 2026 language models hold extended conversation over diverse subjects, so the observation no longer holds. His argument that behaviour cannot settle whether a system creates knowledge does not depend on it, but his projection that better conversational programs are not a path to AI now needs defending.

groundsSource document
Programs written today, a further 26 years later, are still no better at the task of seeming to think than Eliza was.
