Oddities
hings that looked like minds, and were something else. Each one taught the people studying it a method they still use.
 | The Turk — a chess-playing automaton, 1770, with a person inside |
 | Clever Hans — a horse that did sums, 1904, by watching you |
 | Phineas Gage — an iron bar through the head, 1848, and the story that grew |
 | The homunculus — a little man drawn on the brain, and what the drawing hides |
 | machines that answer — a timeline, from the Turk to chat models |
On deck: PARRY, the program that simulated paranoia in 1971 (Colby, Weber & Hilf, 1971), and El Ajedrecista, Leonardo Torres Quevedo's genuine chess endgame machine of about 1912.
