Mind vs. Machine - Magazine - The Atlantic
“Sometimes it seems,” says Douglas Hofstadter, a Pulitzer Prize–winning cognitive scientist, “as though each new step towards AI, rather than producing something which everyone agrees is real intelligence, merely reveals what real intelligence is not.” While at first this seems a consoling position—one that keeps our unique claim to thought intact—it does bear the uncomfortable appearance of a gradual retreat, like a medieval army withdrawing from the castle to the keep. But the retreat can’t continue indefinitely. Consider: if everything that we thought hinged on thinking turns out to not involve it, then … what is thinking? It would seem to reduce to either an epiphenomenon—a kind of “exhaust” thrown off by the brain—or, worse, an illusion. Where is the keep of our selfhood?

A Universe of Books: Borges's 'Library of Babel' - September 24, 2008 - The New York Sun
"The librarian's life and the Library together embody a Turing machine [a rudimentary computer], running an unimaginable program whose output can only be interpreted by a godlike external observer."

The Turing Test Page
This page contains all the online information that I could find concerning the Turing Test. It is, and will always be under construction. I would like to remark at the outset that this is not a page about Alan Turing himself.
