Not another look at the Turing Test!

Warwick, K. (2012) Not another look at the Turing Test! Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 7147. pp. 130-140. ISSN 0302-9743 doi: 10.1007/978-3-642-27660-6_11

Abstract/Summary

Practical application of the Turing Test throws up all sorts of questions regarding the nature of intelligence in both machines and humans. For example - Can machines tell original jokes? What would this mean to a machine if it did so? It has been found that acting as an interrogator even top philosophers can be fooled into thinking a machine is human and/or a human is a machine - why is this? Is it that the machine is performing well or is it that the philosopher is performing badly? All these questions, and more, will be considered. Just what does the Turing test tell us about machines and humans? Actual transcripts will be considered with startling results.
