[ExI] Off Topic: Turing Test -- ai class at stanford

[Adrian Tymes]

That's why I said "so far as there is one".  OTOH, it was given as an example
of something that, if imitated, would seem to leave no further thing that humans
could point to as "intelligence" - because, if there was, then people could talk
about it, but computers wouldn't be able to, thus giving a way to distinguish
computers from humans via communication, thus they do not in fact pass the
Turing Test.
