"the more i try to be human, the more i become transhuman."

Now I'm reminded of the great book The Most Human Human; in which journalist Brian Christian looks at AIs and Turing Tests.

There's an annual Turing Test that gives out two prizes; "Most Human AI," and "Most Human Human." So Christian looks at those features which might distinguish us from a bot.

Strangely enough our emotionality; particularly anger, doesn't do a good job.

The evasive argument is a Stateless one; in which the response need not be an actual reply to the previous claim or any claim. AI's that focus on distractive dismissals, "you don't mean that," "you're just trying to upset me," "you're being irrelevant," can end up getting humans wound-up over the "substance" of the argument.

He also discusses things that humans once considered the height of human thought but which can be done better by a computer; including how Checkers became a "solved game" before the computer era and how Chess is the province of computers.
