Document Summary
Claim: judges could be fooled by a mindless machine that is just a bag of tricks (like the pronoun tricks of the machine psychiatrist) Response isn"t relevant to what is wrong with the turing test. But because we are considering a proposed definition of inteuigence that is supposed to capture the concept of intelligence, conceptual possibility will do the job. Aunt bubbles machine there is a very important difference between the aunt bubbles machine and a real person. If human beings were provided with unlimited memory and with motivational systems that gave passing the turing test infinite weight, they could go on forever this is definitely not the case for the aunt bubbles machine. The problem with the turing test for theoretical purposes is that it focuses on performance rather than on competence. Turing attempts to define intelligence in a certain way, at least in regard to machines.
