Bantering zombies can't think
OpposingArgument

#295
Bantering zombies, using processing mechanisms far superior to those of the all possible conversations machine would still be unintelligent. No matter how much we enrich the machine's information processing, it can't think unless it's conscious.
Charles Karelis, 1986.
Supported by the "Consciousness is Essential to Thinking" Box 50.

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

No: but Neo-Turing test is adequate
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

The Psychologism Objection
The Psychologism Objection☜Behaviour by itself isnt enough: internal differences matter. If two systems behave in exactly the same way, one might be intelligent while the other is stupid because of differences in the way each system processes information.☜EF597B

All Possible Conversations Machine »
All Possible Conversations Machine
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

Consciousness is essential to thinking☜No matter how complex an entitys behaviour, it isnt thinking unless its conscious. Proposed counter examples—e.g. problem solving in a dreamless sleep—are just deviant uses of language.☜FFFACD
