Šiuolaikinio šokio spektaklis ''MATCH 3'' (chor. Vilma Pitrinaitė)

Do you know how to tell a human being from a machine? A Turing test, originally called the imitation game, is required. During the test, a human judge talks to one person and one machine in human language. All three participants in the experiment must be in isolated rooms. If the evaluator cannot reliably tell the machine from the human, the machine is said to have passed the test. Artificial intelligence has shown that it can simulate human conversations quite well just by following a series of simple mechanical rules. People who were interested in this realized that AI could be superior to humans – so superior so that they felt so fake suddently and so scared. But after all, one person can also function better in the System than another person, right? Is it possible because contradictions, doubts, empathy, feelings are redundant in this System? Maybe we should optimize the human being and create an optimized dystopian tribe of strangely functionning fairies for testing it on stage? What else would we like to check out besides their conversation or imitation capacities? Their behavior during their dance practices or mating games ? Would you like to ask them any questions about how their artificial world operates? If you’re a bit scared or lost , don’t worry. We already have all your questions to our answers.
