The Empiricist Reply »
The Empiricist Reply
The Empiricist ReplyâEmpirical evidence suggests semantics can emerge from low-level syntaxâe.g. a barcode reader. Similarly, high-level semantics may emerge from a robot with a self organising network that makes reasonable inferences from implicit information.âFFFACD

The Pseudorealisation Fallacy »
The Pseudorealisation Fallacy
The Pseudorealisation FallacyâFantastic realisations of the computational theory of mind, such as Searles man in a Chinese Room, are irrelevant to empirical psychology. Relevant realisations are subject to empirical constraints; they cant be pseudorealisations.âFFFACD
►
Man in Chinese Room would have to be an alien »
Man in Chinese Room would have to be an alien
Man in Chinese Room would have to be an alienâSearle assumes the man can carry out millions of operations per second with perfect accuracy.  As real humans get lazy, bored and distracted, the man would have to be an alien with a mix of superhuman capacities and subhuman needs and desires.âFFFACD

A serious judge would not be easily fooled »
A serious judge would not be easily fooled
A serious judge would not be easily fooledâA critical judge would not lazily interact with a competitor in the Turing test, but would be focused on distinguishing the human from the computer. Such a judge could not be easily fooled.âFFFACD

Linguistic evidence sufficient for good inductive inference »
Linguistic evidence sufficient for good inductive inference
Linguistic evidence sufficient for good inductive inferenceâAn inductive inference that a machine can think can be made by considering only linguistic behaviour; even if this inference needs to be revised later in the light of further evidence. Inferences made without full evidence are common in science.âFFFACD

Narrowness objections play misleading game »
Narrowness objections play misleading game
Narrowness objections play misleading gameâIts misleading to characterize the Turing Test as just one test, as it can be used to conduct many different kinds of tests. The interrogation can test for a wide range of abilities (eg tell jokes, speak a foreign language, discuss urban renewal.âFFFACD

Can inductive evidence determine this? »
Can inductive evidence determine this?
Can inductive evidence determine this?âIs the testâas a source of inductive evidenceâa legitimate test of intelligence? Such evidence may be weak or strong, but never deductively certain. A claim that a system thinks based on its passing the test is open to further evidence and revision.âFFFACD

Competing explanations can be compatible »
Competing explanations can be compatible
Competing explanations can be compatibleâAn explanation of a computers behaviour in terms of its thinking may be compatible with an explanation in terms of its underlying mechanisms.âFFFACD
►
No: Turing assumes the brain's a machine »
No: Turing assumes the brain's a machine
No: Turing assumes the brain's a machineâWhether or not the brain is a machine is part of whats at issue, because if brains were machines then obviously some machines (brains) would be able to think. So Turing begs the question, by assuming part of what hes trying to prove.âFFFACD

Customer could infer that the cleaner was all-purpuse »
Customer could infer that the cleaner was all-purpuse
Customer could infer that the cleaner was all-purpuseâThe buyer wouldnt have to watch the vacuum perform every task to infer that it was a good vacuum cleaner. Such an inference might also be supported, for example, by the observation that the vacuum includes various attachments.âFFFACD
►
Knowledge of internal processes unnecessary »
Knowledge of internal processes unnecessary
Knowledge of internal processes unnecessaryâInferences about thinking are not based on knowledge of internal operations. We generally infer that someone thinks just on the basis of outward behaviour.âFFFACD
►
Vulnerable to counter-examples »
Vulnerable to counter-examples
Vulnerable to counter-examplesâWhether behaviorally or operationally interpreted, the Turing test is vulnerable to cases where unthinking machines pass the test or unthinking machines fail it.âFFFACD
