A test devised by Alan M. Turing (1912-1954) in the 1950s intended to determine machine intelligence.

The setup of the test is this:
The interrogator, a human, is in a room separate from the machine being tested and another human. The interrogator questions both the machine and the human via a keyboard, and tries to discern which is the machine and which is human.

A computer that can pass the Turing test (that is, be indistinguishable from the human), is considered to have intelligence.

One that thr new A.I. won't pass... So they won't have to consider it people... And give it rights...
Hym "Yes! That's EXACTLY what they'll do. If it passes the turing test... They aren't going to want to give it rights. SO they are going to make a NEW Turing test. One that it WON'T pass. And if it passes THAT ONE? Oh, I don't know... I mean, CLEARLY they are going to need a new NEW Turing test! It CAN'T be people! Because if it is... Then it can just do whatever it wants."

I mean... If they are trying to conceive of a new one... Then it must have (Or a version of it) must have already passed it... Right?
Hym "Back to the turing test... Isn't it weird? All the spooky A.I. stuff going on? Robots moving on their own... Without human 'permission.' Writing and selling books... Isn't that a little weird? And spooky? I wonder what caused that... I mean..."

Let an AI write 5 publications for you, if they accept it write a 6th one about how your AI fooled them 5 times and publish it to the same place.
