@pawsplay not to dump on anyone here but a hard truth... my colleagues and I, really very many people, have been dumping on the Turing test for a very long time. Me since the 90s. My mentors since the 70s. We *love* Turing, but reject the test, an artifact of its times. The clearest progenitor of this idea is the (gross) John Searle, but he was correct. A research assistant abuser, yes, but correct, also yes. One of my collaborations, C5 corporation, wrote a whole play about it...

@km6ecc It was never, like, a complete theory. Just a concept Turing came up with to think about intelligence.
