WHAT, IF ANYTHING, IS WRONG WITH THE TURING TEST?
5. One of the main reasons for the occasional resurfacing of the Turing test is that nobody really agrees on what it actually means; there are, therefore, a number of illuminating criticisms of the test, which hint at fundamental aspects of how we assess mental states in people and non-human systems. But in general I’ll assume a “no tricks” interpretation, with no restriction on the domain, a reasonable duration, and where the observer has the time and skills needed to accurately discriminate. This is in line with Collins’s (1990) protocol for the “Ultimate Turing test,” and with Harnad’s (1992) and Dennett’s (1985) interpretations. By this protocol, no system has yet passed the Turing test. 6. Perhaps the most familiar criticism of the Turing test is that it is “unashamedly behaviouristic and operationalistic” (Searle, 1980), but an operational interpretation, by defining intelligence, fails to tell us anything about what we originally wanted the test to assess. It is much better to t
