The Turing test

Part 1

Today’s LO: learning to program to simulate a human conversation.

• Know how to use print statements and input prompts

• Create a simple conversation between the user and the program

Add a variety of questions to the code using input and print statements

Starter – What is artificial intelligence?

The theory and development of computer systems so that they are able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence

Challenge – using input and print statements

• Find IDLE3 on the PI
• Make a new folder called ‘your name’.

​

• Use Chat bot worksheet to help you to program the robot.

​

• Write a series of inputs and print statements to form a conversation between the computer and the user.

Can you program the robot to respond to your questions?

IMPORTANT the spaces before " in the string are important.

​

Can you add your own inputs and print statements?

Adding pauses

Plenary: Swap computers and test each other’s programs

• What happens if you enter an unexpected response?

​

• What have they been able to achieve?

​

• How can you prove your understanding?

​

• Suggest at least one improvement by writing a comment using the #
