The topic of Artificial Intelligence caught my attention - I have gone into the field first by taking a class in it and got a job with the Artificial Intelligence Services group at EDS - GM.
The mention of Alan Turing is also interesting.
However, after reading this post, I cam to the conclusion that a robot could have "written" it taking it from public sources and patch them together.
What makes humans truly "intelligent" is not and cannot be measured by "Turing Test".
And, before we can talk about Artificial Intelligence, one must define what human intelligence is - this article failed to even touch that - and therefore cannot have originated from an "intelligent" source, artificial or otherwise.
Having said that, I will first add that to be intelligent has to be first fallible - that's right - humans make mistakes and we learn from mistakes - no mistakes == no learning.
Second, intelligence is not a static state - it changes with time and context - environment. What was intelligent a year ago might be passe today. I thought that I was "intelligent" when I cam to the United States in 1971 carrying my treasured instrument of mathematics - a slide rule - a very nice one in deed (and BTW, don't forget the abacus - it has been time tested to be the fastest computation tool for centuries and thousands of years).
Then, on the college campus, I found a Wang programmable calculator. It was the state of the art computation machine (the following year, I bought a better one - a TI calculator for $100).
Third - human are emotional and do not always give an answer. Further more, men, woman, children and old people all should be measured with a different standard. Then, there is the cultural norm.
suffice to say, this is already plenty of information to suggest that it will take a whole lot more consideration and writing and illustration to even just talk about human intelligence - it could fill many books.
I will touch on some in my journey here.

I liked your comment, it is very interesting what you propose. I consider that the Turing test was a start to begin research in the area of artificial intelligence, it is true that this test can not measure what makes us intelligent. This topic is usually very controversial and I wanted to make this publication because Alan Turing's work called my attention a lot. My intention is to continue publishing articles on this same topic. Regards and thank you for your comment.
Thank you for the post! I know Alan Turing would have appreciated this call to attention.
