Turing Test

[artificial] intelligence comedy

Back in the 1950s, the English mathematician Alan Turing raised the question: can a machine think? That is how the famous test came about, in which a person tries to determine who their interlocutor is, another person or a machine. Back then, the task was simpler: computers were slow and clumsy. Today everything is different, robots are right beside us: at home, at work, in everyday life. And the day when it becomes hard to tell a machine from a human seems very close.

So the British scientist faces a challenge: who is in front of him, a human or a machine? In search of an answer, the protagonist moves from one comic situation to another, becoming more and more entangled in his own conclusions and feelings. The resolution comes unexpectedly: perhaps we ourselves are becoming more and more like robots, forgetting about simple things, living feelings, beauty, and love.
