Turing Tests and Consciousness
Turing tests may cause controversy
by the argument that the test is concerned strictly with how the subject acts —
the external behavior of the machine. In this regard, it takes a behaviorist or
functionalist approach to the study of intelligence. The example of ELIZA
suggests that a machine passing the test may be able to simulate human
conversational behavior by following a simple (but large) list of mechanical
rules, without thinking or having a mind at all. However, the artificial brain
would act in the same way as a human brain and externally appear as human-like
as you and I, but internally it is made out of unconscious materials. This ultimately
brings me to the question of whether a few unconscious materials can be
constructed together in a way to become conscious Dr. Johnson?
