Combinatorial explosion makes the machine impossible
Premise
1
#291
Programming the machine to engage in an hour long Turing test is impossible, because it would give rise to a "combinatorial explosion". The programmer would have to code more strings than there are particles in the universe.
Argument anticipated by Ned Block, 1981.

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

No: but Neo-Turing test is adequate☜The neo-Turing test interprets the Turing test as providing an overt, measurable behavioural and operational definition of thinking—and refines the test to avoid classical problems associated with behaviourism and other related criticisms.☜59C6EF

All Possible Conversations Machine☜An unintelligent machine engaging in sensible conversation by searching a database containing all possible lines of conversation in a finite Turing test, would pass the neo-Turing test—but it would be only echoing its programmers intelligence.☜98CE71

Machine is logically possible☜The machine is logically possible even if it is empirically impossible. Because the neo-Turing test makes a claim about the concept of intelligence, it is refuted by the logical possibility of the machine.☜EF597B
