Episode notes

The project debater is still young. It was wat like nine years old when it faced off against harish. So the may still hold promise. Whatever the results of this debate were, it's very plausible that a machine will be able to out debate a human being. The optibal solution for me is the next public debate. A i b, m wins as iget. But i stil w right.

This episode, featuring Andy Luttrell of the Opinion Science Podcast, is all about a machine, built by IBM, that can debate human beings on any issue, which leads to the question: is persuasion, with language, using arguments, and the ability to alter another person’s attitudes, beliefs, values, opinions, and behavior a uniquely human phenomenon, or could you be persuaded to change your mind by an artificial intelligence designed to do just that? If so, what does that say about opinions, our arguments, and in the end, our minds?
