TT in its basic form is rather simplistic. It's thought of usually in its ideal form, the determination of an AI or a human. I look at it more of analogue verses discrete boolean. Much of what is out there is human with computer augmentation and echoes of human interaction. It's blurry in reality and the TT has been passed in some ways but not in its most ideal way. > As I said in my correspondence With Jan Klouk, the human being is stupid, > often dangerously stupid. > > Philosophical question 2 - Would passing the TT assume human stupidity and > if so would a Turing machine be dangerous?

A Turing machine would be potentially dangerous, a really well built one. At some point we'd need to see some DNA as ID of another "extended" TT. > Philosophical question 3 :- Would a TM be a psychologist? I think it would > have to be.

It might be easier to pass the TT by not exposing too much intelligence.
