I flat out don't believe that. Forget about consciousness, nobody would say
as Bruno has that the Turing Test can't even detect intelligence unless
they were terrified of machine intelligence. It's just intellectual
cowardness because he's insisting we use very different rules when judging
if something is intelligent or not depending on whether that something is
made of protoplasm or silicon. What's next, reserving judgement on whether
a person behaved intelligently until we know the gender and the color of
the person's skin?

All I'm saying is that whatever method we use in judging the intelligence
of our fellow human beings, and we all do it every waking hour of every day
of our lives, we should use the same method in judging machines.
