I can't seem to concentrate on anything. Well strictly that isn't true; for once I'm too concentrated on something—the Turing Test. I've developed something of an animus towards it. Which would be fine, if only I had some scrap of logic to back-up, what is, just, a feeling.
Defining what intelligent behaviour is/should look like even without the possibility that we might use, in essence, trickery is hard enough. What do we call that? Emulation, or is it simulation?
To totally change viewpoint let's look at magic. We know that Darren Brown does not possess magical powers, he tells us so, but he seems to do things that defy natural explanation. This is my problem with something passing the Turing test—I might not see how I'm being played. Does that matter?
Maybe I should concentrate on the feeling.
More philosophy, more thinking and more obsessing.
I seem to have hit a bump...
