What the hell is the famous Turing test?

Turing test was invented by Allen Mathison Turing, which means that the tester can ask questions to the testee at will through some equipment (such as keyboard) when he is separated from the testee (a person and a machine). After many tests, if more than 30% of the testers are not sure whether the testee is a human or a machine, then the machine has passed the test and is considered to have human intelligence.

Extended data 1. The most classic example of Turing test is verification code.

2. We often enter various verification codes. In fact, the verification code has a scientific name-"Automatic Turing Test for Distinguishing Computers from Humans" (CAPTCHA for short). As we all know, Turing test is to identify whether the other party is a person or a machine by answering a series of questions raised by human beings through computers, and verification code is an "anti-Turing test" in which machines ask questions to people.

3. The greatest significance of the existence of the verification code, or the greatest significance of the Turing test, is to distinguish whether people or automation software are input on the page. Take 12306 verification code as an example, its "evolutionary history" is a history of constantly "fighting wits and wits" with scalpers and ticketing software, from simple numbers, letters, addition and subtraction at the beginning to flashing deformed letters and distorted letters with interference lines ... because the combination of numbers and letters can be automatically analyzed and recognized by ticketing software.
