I seems to me to be silly to discuss things like "when a computer passes the Turing test it will be intelligent." Intelligence is not a binary, you have it or you don't thing. It is all a matter of degree. I agree with Caroline Knight on her comment about a machine having the human qualities of arrogance, ignorance and the like. For the rest of you (Rob Wald), that believe a 'test' is required to solve the have intelligence vs. the not have intelligence, I suggest you ask a third grader if it takes any intelligence to multiply and divide. If you look at intelligence the way I do you will see how far we have come in creating machine intelligence. -jeff sherrard
