Good God!
Let us hope.
In the final analysis passing the Turing Test just means being observed doing
intelligent things,
The Turing test measure the ability in the domain "passing a Turing tests".
But I think you're imagining the Turing test in a restricted way. The Turing test can
measure learning ability too. You've asked Liz and me to prove some theorems in modal
logic. I don't know about Liz, but I learned what I know about modal logic from you on
this list. So does my proving those theorems mean I only exhibited competence, or was it
intelligence? Do you think it is impossible to distinguish intelligence from competence?
If you're going to suppose that the world can be emulated by digital computation I think
you'll have to accept that digital communication, "the domain of passing a Turing test",
is sufficient for any learning, intelligence, and competence.
