The Reverse Turing Test

Given our natural tendency to anthropmorphize machines, one might ask, in a kind of Reverse Turing Test, whether a machine can avoid being treated as intelligent—i.e. "Can a machine interacting with a human being avoid being anthropomorphized?"

Joseph Rychlak, 1991.

Rychlak points to the ELIZA Effect (Map 1, Box 106) as an example of humans being fooled into thinking that a machine that engages in conversation can think.
