Can the Turing Test determine this? [2]
Can the Turing Test determine this? [2] ☜Is the Turing Test—proposed by Alan Turing in 1950—an adequate test of thinking? Can it determine whether a machine can think? If a computer passess the test by persuading judges via a teletyped conversation that its human can it be said to think?☜FFB597

Nondecisive tests can be useful☜The Turing Test isnt a definitive litmus test for intelligence, and failing isnt decisive, but this doesnt make it a bad test. Many good tests are nondecisive but useful.☜EF597B

Vulnerable to counter-examples☜Whether behaviorally or operationally interpreted, the Turing test is vulnerable to cases where unthinking machines pass the test or unthinking machines fail it.☜FFFACD

Operational interpretation is too rigid
Operational interpretation is too rigid☜If thinkings operationally defined, systems that pass the test are necessarily intelligent: systems that fail necessarily unintelligent. But this is too rigid. Intelligent machines could fail the test and unintelligent machines could pass the test.☜FFFACD
