You can't fool Mother Nature

The test only measures the ability of a machine to trick judges, and can't test for the flexible adapations needed to interact in the natural world—where intelligence is best indicated by an ability to survive via co-ordinated perception and action.

In neglecting such abilities, the Turing Test biases us to think of intelligence in an intellectual way.


John Barresi, 1987.
