A Close Reading of the Imitation Game

Year 2023, Issue: 2, 53 - 64, 19.10.2023

Anıl Ünal

Abstract

This essay delves into Alan Turing's "Computing Machinery and Intelligence", examining the entrenched the binary opposition between human and machine. Through deconstruction, the essay seeks to reveal and analyze the deeper insights inherent in Turing's work. Of particular significance is Turing's equivalence between language and thought, particularly in the context of the imitation game. Within the grammatological realm of Turing's text, writing and mechanism are nearly interchangeable, representing the intersection of humans and machines. By adopting a deconstructive perspective, the essay illuminates the philosophical origins of the artificial intelligence debates and their implications for our understanding of human existence.

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Alan Turing'in "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" başlıklı makalesinin yakın okumasını sunarak insan ve makine arasındaki ikili karşıtlığı irdeliyor. Bir dekonstrüksiyon stratejisi yürüterek, Turing'in çalışmasına içkin olan daha derin kavrayışları ortaya çıkarmaya ve analiz etmeye çalışıyor. Turing'in taklit oyunu aracılığıyla dil ve düşünce arasında tesis ettiği denklik bilhassa önemlidir. Turing'in metninin gramatolojik zemininde, yazı ve mekanizma neredeyse birbirinin yerine kullanılabilir ve insan ile makine kesişimini temsil eder. Dekonstrüktif bir bakış açısı benimseyen makale, yapay zeka tartışmalarının felsefi kökenlerini ve bunların insan varoluşunu anlayışımız üzerindeki etkilerini aydınlatıyor.
