Find the word which means‘looked at carefully.’
Galileo heard about Hans’ design and built his own version in 1609, which he turned to the stars. He observed four objects moving in a curved line around Jupiter. He took these to be stars, but we now know that they are moons.

1) Find and copy one word which shows that AI chatbots copy human speech.
In 1950, English computer scientist Alan Turing invented a test to tell if a computer was intelligent. People talked to a machine that they could not see, using text messages.f the machine tricked the people into believing it was a real person, then it passed the test. Today, AI chat bots are able to mimic human speech, but they are unlike humans in other ways.

AI chatbots can learn from past conversations and improve over time.
Alan Turing invented the Turing Test in 1950 to see if computers could think like humans.
Reactive machines can remember information and learn from it.
Current AI is fully self-aware and has its own emotions.

4) What was Alan Turing’s test designed to find out, and how did it work?
Text Mark Evidence - people talked to a machine that they could not see, using text messages - if the machine tricked the people into believing it was a real person, then it passed the test
Text Mark Evidence in 1950, English computer scientist Alan Turing invented a test to tell if a computer was intelligent
it worked by having people communicate with a hidden machine through text to see if they believed it was human
his test was designed to find out whether a computer could be considered intelligent
Text Mark Evidence people talked to a machine that they could not see, using text messages
the test relied on written communication rather than appearance or voice

5) Why does the author suggest that computers are not truly intelligent yet?
Text Mark Evidence AI does not have the creative spark of humans
Text Mark Evidence - machines do not have emotions, either, which are an important part of human intelligence - machines cannot make decisions based on emotions, like humans do
lack emotions and cannot make emotional decisions
do not have creativity like humans
Text Mark Evidence AI chat bots are able to mimic human speech, but they are unlike humans in other ways
can copy human behaviour but do not truly understand it
