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.
