Which is the best answer, would
you say? Click on its number.
If
you can't tell the difference between a machine and a human being you should
have your eyes tested
If
you can't tell the difference between a machine and a human being you must concede
that the machine must be capable of thought
If
you can't tell the difference between a machine and a human being you must concede
that human beings do not have freewill
If
you can't tell the difference between a machine and a human being so long as
you are restricted to communicating via computer screens you must conclude that
the essence of being human is having a body.
Which is the best formulation of the Turing test?
Turing thought of his test as a test for whether a machine could be said
to be capable of thought, so (1) is not a correct statement of it.
(2) is subtly wrong - it's thinking it purports to prove, not freewill
(I may not have made this sufficiently memorable).
(4) is tetchy.
(3) seems right to me.
